What's to say he will go? If he doesn't want to join another team till his contract runs out he doesn't have to. If he can go on a 'free' his wages could be much better. Ferguson may have fallen out with one player too many - the team aren't what they used to be, very few real stars other than those in the twilight of their careers, and Rooney - who doesn't see his future there.
Can anyone seriously imagine this squad can win many trophies - plenty of decent players but the likes of Park, Gibson, Fletcher, Rafael, Evans would have never got near the team bus for the 1999 Champions League final. Nani and Anderson would also struggle.
Top class players that aren't in their fading careers? Rooney and...sorry, I can't think of many others.
