Here's how I see it re Mata/Rooney... chelsea have agreed to sell them Mata so that they get Rooney in the summer..
Rooney starts all this " I want £300 grand a week" bollocks to set the ball rolling for an excuse to leave come summer but gets to play til then. In the summer United say " we will not allow ourselves to be held to ransom" they sell Rooney to Chelsea..
Rooney can then say he wanted a pay rise but left cos he didnt get one..
united will not get lambasted by their fans as they are the innocent party..
Bonnet du douche..Everyones a winner..who dares wins.
