Re: Rooney out and Lowandowski to United rumour
After last night I reckon Rooney leaving in the summer has legs. For me it was an astonishing decision to drop him to the bench for such an important game. Sure, Welbeck has improved as a player but Rooney still has far more in his locker and can do a job in a variety of positions and as such I don't believe for one minute that Welbeck was a better bet to start that game than Rooney.
If he does leave, I can't see him coming to us though.

I think it's a case of him approaching the age where there's no sell on value for buyer and price falls. Rooney was an early start in football and not a late bloomer like RVP. His lifestyle and arrogance may be two battles Ferguson can't be bothered with and he alo has just 2 seasons on his contract come the summer.
For United, it's a cross-roads. Selling Rooney pays for RVP and puts about £15m in the bank (assuming £40m incoming fee) whilst also slashing £250k pw off the bill in wages. Kagawa is the future for them as a playmaker and is on about on just above a third of the wages apparently. He links well with Lewandowski and it's a no brainer for all concerned.
Will be interesting to see this unfold.
