its not about ppl r jealous or nt, its about whether he deserves that kind of salary or not, and how will other man utd teammates react to rooney's salary while he is playing like shit n dont deserve the salary

football is a team sport, how will other players react if they noe thrs 1 guy who earns a mammoth salary but not contributing or does not deserves dat kind of salary? it destroys the morale of the team, rooney earn 300k now, but watabout players like juan mata? antonio valencia? michael carrick etc? they at most earn half of wat rooney is earning, many players will be 'jealous' of rooney

thr is even a case few years back whr the dressing room is unhappy at rooney for getting that kind of salary

yeah he was a top player last time, but since the last few seasons, he declined alot and not really a top player now, he is not like vardy/mahrez or de bruyne etc who can dictate a game n win games single-handedly, so he shouldnt get dat kind of salary either, if he is like messi or ronaldo then i can say he deserves it, but he is not

n he also threatened man utd twice to quit so that he can get a better contract, first was in 2012 i think n he originally earned <200k but fergie gave him a new contract n bumped his salary to 200k++, then in 2013 he again threatened to quit n moyes gave him a new contract n again bumped his salary to 300k, many man utd players are very unhappy during that time
