Maybe this is another one of Fergie falling outs?

Same with Beckham, Ronaldo, etc.

Wouldn't surprise if he would leave, they don't really need him now they have Robin and Welbeck, alongside Hernandez, with prospects like Will Keane and possibly bringing in another striker (guessing someone who is doing reasonable well for a mid-table club, and make them a big name ala Saha). Would have him here in a heart-beat - if Torres is going as well - Ba, Rooney and Lukaku :D

This guy is such a mystery; a brilliant striker, tracks back, yet there is something about him like he goes missing in big games and loses will to play...But I dont believe Manu would sell him to us, neither would Rooney want to come here

He ain't going anywhere.

Some of these figures these papers are pulling out of their asses are laughable too. £20m? As if!

Strange thing is that Rooney leaving would fall in line with rumors that United are seriously in for Lewandowski. Ready made replacement who has chemistry with Kagawa.

Couldn't see Rooney leaving for anything under £35m but can't see it happening at all.

don't need him! he isn't a better number 10 than Mata and he wont be our number 9 as we will sign a true number 9 in the summer only way i would want him here is if he converts into a Scholes like CM, but i cant see that happening.

No thanks. Hasn't exactly been consistently great for some time and I don't think having a troublesome player like him would be helpful if even Fergie can't be bothered with him any longer.

Really? Sounds like a myth to me.

I remain doubtful they'd sell, but yeah, he'd be a great addition to any club. He's been one of the best strikers in the world over the last decade and likely still has a good 3 or 4 years left at a top level. 11 goals, 9 assists, strong in the air, great at holding up the ball, can slot into a team in a few different places. He's nobody's favourite person, but he's a top player.

I agree with most of what you said except for the bolded bit. He's never looked up his body as well as he could, especially in the off-season. I think this is why Fergie might be looking to get rid of him now. He's been playing since he was 16 and he was able to play at that age at the top-level not just because he was technically sound but because he was physically strong. But carrying that much muscle does put a strain on the bits you can't strengthen and he's never worked as hard on his body as someone like Ronaldo.

I think he's going to struggle as he gets closer to 30 and I don't see him being a top-class striker many years beyond that.
