Wayne Rooney warned by David Moyes over Manchester United pecking order

Wayne Rooney has been left in no doubt regarding his position at Manchester United with David Moyes, the manager, issuing a stark message that the striker is considered vital only if "we had an injury to Robin van Persie".

Ed Woodward, United's executive vice-chairman, also underlined the hardline stance towards Rooney, claiming the club have no fear of a player's deal running down.

"Wayne can play up on his own, he can play dropped in. Overall my thought on Wayne is, if for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie, we'll need him," said Moyes, speaking in Bangkok before United flew to Sydney for the next leg of their tour.

"I want to be able to play the two of them, I want to use Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernández as well. I want to give myself as many options as possible."

As reported in the Observer last week, United are relaxed about Rooney not signing a new deal. Woodward said: "There are no contract renewals that are being discussed. I am not sitting down with any player on an extension and there is no trigger date in the diary. Would we be afraid to run a contract down? Of course not."

I guess United feel they can stubborn on the Rooney front. I for sure no football expert. But I just can't see the logic in letting a player who doesn't even want to be there run his contract all the way down and get nothing for him on the free transfer. The longer they wait to sell him the less they'll get. Maybe this is payback for previous disparaging comments Rooney made about Moyes. But supposedly they made up after that and surely Moues can't convince the Glazers to keep a player just to spite him......

I understand maybe Moyes said something like that to show Rooney who is the boss, but is that a right words to say in the moment like this? I don't think so.

Right. I was quick to agree that Moyes was for sure the right man for that job. But he definitely needs some work on handling interviews at this level.

I pretty sure the media twisted his words like always.

Eden Hazard: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney would be welcome at Chelsea.

."Rooney would be a brilliant signing," Hazard said.

"He's a great player who has the experience andhe's still only young, at 27.

"He's got a few years left to play.

But it's not up tome. It's not my decision."
