Coach Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to sell striker Wayne Rooney, in an exclusive article that will appear on Saturday, the newspaper "The Independent" reports.
However, the club hurried to deny this information, releasing a statement on their official website: "We do not know all the details of the article, but we want to emphasize that Rooney is dedicated to the team and the coach and vice versa. Talk of him leaving is nonsense."
Lately, the Englishman has not avoided controversies. After spending an evening in the city with friends after Christmas, Rooney performed poorly in the following day's training session and received sanctions from Ferguson: he did not receive his weekly salary and was not included in the lineup for the match against "Blackburn."
The striker did not shine in this week's match against "Newcastle," during which he was substituted.
Nevertheless, Rooney remains one of the leaders of the 'Red Devils'. In the "Premier" league he has scored thirteen goals in 18 matches this season.
In 2010, the English national team player had already expressed a desire to leave "Man Utd," but later changed his mind and signed a new contract. At that time, he was being sought after by "Man City," as well as several other top clubs in other countries.
