Wayne-Rooney
Is Not Wanted By Europe’s Big Guns
That leaves Manchester City as the only outlet able to
afford him if United choose to sell. SunSport revealed United are ready to cash
in on the 26-year-old unless he bucks up. They would want £50million. But
Barcelona and Real Madrid will not bid, while big-spending Paris St Germain,
who were considering a move for the England star earlier this summer, are no
longer keen. Rooney was axed for United’s first home game of the season against
Fulham on Saturday. Boss Alex Ferguson’s patience with him had finally snapped
after a turbulent two years.

That leaves Manchester City as the only outlet able to
afford him if United choose to sell. SunSport revealed United are ready to cash
in on the 26-year-old unless he bucks up. They would want £50million. But
Barcelona and Real Madrid will not bid, while big-spending Paris St Germain,
who were considering a move for the England star earlier this summer, are no
longer keen. Rooney was axed for United’s first home game of the season against
Fulham on Saturday. Boss Alex Ferguson’s patience with him had finally snapped
after a turbulent two years.
Rooney’s
performance at Everton convinced his manager his form and fitness were gone. The
relationship between the pair is now tense and they have barely spoken since
the forward returned for pre-season. City were close to signing Rooney when he
revealed he wanted to quit United in October 2010.
The player eventually
changed his mind and decided to stay at Old Trafford but the wounds from that
episode have never healed. The champions remain interested in signing the
ex-Everton ace but are now convinced United will never sell to them. Any
movement will not come until January, with Rooney sidelined for up to two
months after suffering a badly gashed thigh in an accidental collision with
Fulham’s Hugo Rodallega.
