JoeMercer'sWay said:WNRH said:Rooney isn't United's CAPTAIN, that is the important word there, he hasn't got a terrible injury, he isn't in any pain, he's got a pulled hamstring, if he wanted to be there he would of been.
How many games did Neville miss as Man Utd captain? he wasn't even in the stadium for a number of them either.
If the club have made the decision to send him to Italy, that is it, regardless whether he's captain or not, and actually it sets a better example for him to just go and do as the club say and show he's willing to do as he's told rather than argue about it and cause problems like he did in December.
If he goes in the summer so be it and that's a seperate issue.
Finally again stop making assumptions and telling us how much pain he is or isn't in, you don't know.
If he wanted to be there he would of been there. Normal league games are different, big games the club captain should be there like Neville and Ferdinand always have, again if he wanted to be there he would of been there.
