Wayne Rooney's situation at Manchester United is becoming increasingly enviable. The 27-year-old striker for the English national team feels angry and confused by the latest statement from the new manager. David Moyes has stated that W. Rooney will not be his first choice when it comes to the forward line, according to the BBC.
These words have confused the footballer - after all, Manchester United is trying to keep him in the club. W. Rooney expressed disappointment with such statements and stated that he does not intend to accept being in the shadow of Robin van Persie.
W. Rooney's contract with Manchester United still has two years left, but he has previously been strongly linked to two powerful English Premier League clubs - Chelsea and Arsenal.
During the weekend, D. Moyes reiterated that W. Rooney is not for sale and holds an important place in the team. However, it was not this statement that angered the footballer, but another statement: "If R. van Persie were to get injured, we will definitely need Wayne. I want to have as many options as possible."
