don't you think that the players already knew about this? hence the form issue?

true kitman, in fact even tho ronaldo left us, he still has that class in him.just roll back the match where we faced his old club.that respect was still deep, and his respect for united is still there.

never made a fuss, stated his intentions clearly wants to move and at the same time respected united most of all.

I feel surprise and shock with Fergie saying Rooney is going to leave.

I'm not too happy with Rooney's decision. In fact, I feel angry...
If he want to leave, just leave. No problem for Manchester United.

Just because he's been anonymous this season(not even BPL games) doesnt mean it's not a big deal..He was THE player last season...I'm just saddened by how the things panned out..Just few months ago, March specifically, he wanted a life contract, then August he wants out...how can any United fan not be gutted with that

made my day xD

if he keeps silent,the media,the fans, the haters,etc will all keep hammering on him.
they will all keep saying it's SAF's fault rooney is running away..

i applaud SAF's willingness to come out.it's not like he's blasting rooney-his voice is nowhere near angry..it's so full of sadness and disappointment

There must be a genuine reason....

He's never done this.. Even during his rows with Becks, Stam, Ruud, Keano, Kanchelskis....

I sense that he is trying to advise Wayne in a way to think again before leaving.... Sir Alex was asked if the door is still open for Rooney, he instantly said "of course"...

I dunno.. maybe it's a lost hope... I don't want to hope too much. But what I hope is, is that we are able to move on properly.. this club is based on tradition as what Sir Alex said.. even during Sir Matt's day. No player is bigger than the club. Period.

Don't think the other players know actually, the issue first started with his agent, players don't leak stuff like this..Even Rio in his tweet said he was quite shocked to see that on Sky news...

i believe in this article le. we got no money ah

after so many years of nurturing, i'm sure SAF will be hurt, not to mention the supporters as well

is all about money nowadays, they were blindfolded by cash
i guess loyalty is worthless right now

if he want to leave, let him leave, SAF had did his part of job, the end will be Rooney decision
no point keeping a player without a heart playing for the club, oh well i just hope all of this is rumour but in fact is not

150k per week is top earner among all Man Utd player, did he expect for 300k per week? geezzzzz

I think i should leave now... Been sitting here for the past 2 hours refreshing stuff and talking to people about the decision.
Really gutted that i was so wrong about the player who i thought was gonna be a life-long player and legend here at Manchester United.

Right now im just really gutted and angry at Rooney. Maybe tomorrow or in a couple of days ill accept his decision and be thankful for all his contributions. Even saying this feels so weird,cant imagine seeing Rooney in another jersey

Yeah.

The players, the club, everyone must now rally around SAF.

Let's hope they fight back and show a fighting performance in the weeks ahead.

3 points at a time. 3 points.

Oh man ... those were the days ....

Precisely. SAF said it clearly. The fans were chanting "Rooney, Rooney" it was affecting the players.

There's too much crap going around, it was better to clear the air.

Yeah Ronaldo definitely showed more class in a similar situation.

Oh well. Thanks for everthing wazza.

Imma sell my rooney in FIFA11

Time for Macheda and Hernandez to shine!

Will be even weird seeing him in BLUE. Sigh

agreed.even the last question in the interview does leave some doors open.we'll see what happnes between now and january.

SAF was tearing up at the final part of the video....never seen him so sad, and so monotonous during an interview

to make an old man this sad, is unacceptable....why you did it Wayne....

Now i'm confused. Whether he'll play for us again or not this season. He's getting boo'ed for sure when he does play!

But it is very strange... Sir alex openly admitting this while the footnall season still is still going on....

I sense that Sir Alex wants Rooney to stay, more than Rooney wanting to leave. I dunno, why the hell is Wayne doing this. Must be a reason.. he must be upset for something... But again, it is sad seeing how gutted Sir Alex was..

wow i just finished watching the interview....the gaffer really looked sad and disappointed.spoke with a heavy heart and i dont if it was the video or what but fergie looked like he was holding some tears...........

i saw his watery eyes after so long

Ronaldo still show some respect to SAF even he left to Real Madrid, does not backstab the club, player and manager at all

now Rooney acting like what Tevez did which we all didn't expect it at all

if you watched MUTV's interview with SAF, you could see him saying that after 60++ minutes against west brom, the fans were chanting rooney rooney and this was not needed because it builds extra pressure towards the team..

this was clearly the last resort measure taken to make it clear to the fans that rooney does not want to be here with us.


and yes, i noticed he was teary for that 9minutes
