Rooney Says No To Van Gaal: Why Manchester United Should Look To Offload The Former Everton Striker

Wayne Rooney is a player who is greatly admired up at Old Trafford. Fancied as the next captain of the club when Nemanja Vidic packs his bags and heads to Inter, Rooney's opinion is respected at the club. According to reports from the Metro, the former Everton forward has gone to the United board to tell them that Louis van Gaal should not be considered as the next manager of the club. For me, that's over stepping the mark.

Rooney is not the chairman, nor does he put money into the club. In fact, it is him who the club splash tens of millions of pounds on per year in wages, only for him to repay them with average performances and a mediocre goal tally.

If I was in charge of the club, I would look to move Rooney out of the club.

As well as having adequate options up top already, I think Rooney is a bad apple. He has requested a move away a couple of times, only to take more money off the club, and still he runs his mouth, if the reports are true.

There is no one player bigger than their club, and despite the amount of money Rooney is on, that includes him. For what it's worth, I think van Gaal would be more important to the club, if he is appointed, than Rooney.

Your article is pathetic .. Yes , Rooney going to the board a certainly overstepping the mark drastically , but if u think van gaal , would be more important to Manchester United than Rooney , go and find anther team to support son .. While Rooney may have great wages , excessive even , which player does not want more money , besides , Chelsea were going to pay him top dollar anyway .. The fact is Rooney is still a red devil .. While Ronaldo , ruud , beckham and the likes left MUFC after FERGIE fall outs or pastures new , Wayne Rooney has been an MUFC player for 10 god damn years involving 6 titles and a champions league , plus two champions leave finals .. When Ronaldo left and in 2010 we had what most call Uniteds weakest ever squad , Rooney carried us to a title and CL final .. Wayne Rooney is in contention to be the highest scoring MUFC player of all time .. He stood buy when offers with equal pay would have easily been available .. Are you really going to say ud be happy to watch a hard working complete football player so very close to reaching legendary status at our club for a redneck ??? Wayne Rooney going to the board is ridiculous , probably just media rumours tho .. But so easel to saying lets get rid of Rooney for van gaal? What's next ?? Want giggs to go ?? If giggs talks so openly about the dedication of Rooney and their close relationship , u think our best player is a bad apple ?? Every player so highly of wazza , how he is in training and as a footballer .. Call yourself a supporter ? Go write articles on figure skating or something

[HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!]

How do the media get away with writing rubbish like the above?

Interesting that you dont quote any sources to Rooney having this meeting, no rationale for why Rooney would state anything like this and then go on to vilify him without just reason.
Seems to me like you are looking for an opportunity to attack Rooney.

I agree with the second post, How do you get away with such unfounded dribble - you base your article on another unfounded article and then continue to provide commentary. You and this article sucks.
