Weird. If they've known since August why not pawn him off then when he still had two years left on his contract? fecking weird thats for sure.
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that striker Wayne Rooney wants to leave Manchester United.
The Old Trafford boss admitted he was "shocked" and "disappointed" to hear the news but said he had not fallen out with the England international.
"We are as bemused as anyone can be, we can't quite understand why he would want to leave," said Ferguson.
Ferguson said the "door is still open" for Rooney, 24, to remain at the club he joined from Everton in 2004.
Rooney's contract with the Premier League giants is due to end at the end of the 2011/12 season.
Manchester United are due to face Bursaspor in the Champions League on Wednesday but Rooney will not be involved after being stretchered off at the end of training on Tuesday.
I was dumbfounded... only months before he was saying he was at the greatest club in the world.

Rooney's future has been the subject of intense speculation over the last few days following reports that the England striker was not prepared to sign a new contract.
In an interview with MUTV filmed before he spoke to the media, Ferguson said Manchester United chief executive David Gill had told him about Rooney's decision not to sign a new deal back in the summer.
"I was in the office on 14 August and David phoned me to say he (Rooney) wasn't signing a contract," said Ferguson.
"I was dumbfounded. Only months before he was saying he was at the greatest club in the world.
"I asked to have a meeting with the boy. He reiterated what his agent said, that he wanted to go."
Not anymore.Nobody knows the full story, as far as I'm concerned Rooney is still a United legend in the making.
Why would she want him to leave?He's betrayed more than just his childhood team hasn't he? I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is part of the deal with Coleen; that in order to keep his family he has to leave Utd!
That's your justification for caling bullshit? Well you've proven the muppet bit of your theory beyond a doubt.I don't think players are as stupid as some muppets on this forum
Yes Agents are scum.But players that really want to stay at OT should take a lesson out of Scholes conduct.Paul Stretford is a scumbag of the first order.
We've known this for ages though.
If we don't sell him this christmas he could buy his own contract out for as little as 10 million. Then watch this place erupt.He has 18months+, in the summer he will have 12months.
Join back up with Ronaldo.What the feck is he and his freckles gona do in Spain?
Yep. We have lost 3 of the best attacking players we have every had.What a difference 2 years make
Unless we get an offer from abroad, I say we spend the next 18 months ruining his career. Just set him up every training for Scholes' tackling practice. Inject the fecker with dr pepper, just for shits and giggles.
Then let him join City, and watch him fail on £160,000 a week. What a cock.
Does anything in this story signify that this is happening here?I think people should calm down slagging off Wayne Rooney, we all know that Ferguson can be childish and push people out when he wants to. Nobody knows the full story, as far as I'm concerned Rooney is still a United legend in the making.
Didn't we say that about Tevez.Unless we get an offer from abroad, I say we spend the next 18 months ruining his career. Just set him up every training for Scholes' tackling practice. Inject the fecker with dr pepper, just for shits and giggles.
Then let him join City, and watch him fail on £160,000 a week. What a cock.
No wayI think people should calm down slagging off Wayne Rooney, we all know that Ferguson can be childish and push people out when he wants to. Nobody knows the full story, as far as I'm concerned Rooney is still a United legend in the making.
In fairness to the Glazers they tried negotiating two years before the contract expires. Standard practiceThis means he HAS to go in January or he laves for nothing!! Well done to the Glazers for their new money saving scheme of waiting for contracts to expire!! I only hope its not in the PL
thought it was only 5 milIf we don't sell him this christmas he could buy his own contract out for as little as 10 million. Then watch this place erupt.
14th August?? They have been sitting on this one for a while.
Best three attacking player we've ever had? Please..Yep. We have lost 3 of the best attacking players we have every had.
The Holly Trinity Mk2 all gone in less than 2 years.
