The end of the Wayne Rooney dream at Man Utd!!

After turning Wayne Rooney into a global superstar, Manchester United have decided not to stump up an increase in wages. Apparently, Rooney wanted something in the range of Cristiano Ronaldo's £11m plus a year compared with his current £5.3m.
(I have not got the details of the contracts!!). Man Utd are a selling club and there was the background fear that the American owners would want to cash in on their main asset. However, it looks like Rooney wanted to leave the club anyway, which is a shame since the fans always roared when he started to run against defences.

Real Madrid tried to win things with a bunch of global superstars but these players need others in the team to win the ball and pass to them. Even without Rooney, Man Utd can score enough goals but need a stronger midfield to give the defence a bit more protection. Giggs and Scholes can't go forever and the Euro loss against Bayern Munich showed that major investment/surgery was needed.

PS. As we now know our Wayne is staying at Man Utd on a major increase in pay. He is not as quick as he used to be.
