Ferguson: Rooney is not leaving Manchester United 3

Alex Ferguson says Wayne Rooney will stay at Manchester United next season following a huge buzz over the striker’s future.

 

Ferguson chose not to pick Wayne Rooney for his starting line-up against Real Madrid on Tuesday and it triggered rumours that the England international could be sold this summer.

Ferguson has dismissed the speculation and claimed there is no issue between him and Rooney.

Ferguson said: “The Wayne Rooney nonsense first? Or do you want to talk sense?

“The issue you’re all going on about is rubbish. There’s absolutely no issue between Wayne Rooney and I.

“The suggestion we don’t talk on the training ground is nonsense. The decision to not play him was purely tactical and he understood that. Wayne will be here next year. You have my word on that.”
