In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I don't think so, he wasn't just saying that we don't want to sell, he said we won't sell. Moyes seems pretty determined to try make it work whether Rooney wants to go or not.
If someone offers 30 million plus, then I hope it's bye bye Wayne if he doesn't want to be here.
Except there's no way in hell we'd get anything close to that.
And when Rooney got 11 goals and 4 assists in 14 games between January and March including 6 winners, 1 equaliser and another couple of goals which were doubles v Reading and City in 1 goal wins weren't evidence of Rooney in great form? I think there were a handful of games at most where Ronaldo was anywhere near his best, much like Rooney last year. It's just much more distant so people don't scrutinise it in the same way.
I knew this thread title would change today, hopefully just a smokescreen from Moyes.
I'm not sure what people were expecting him to say. "Yeah, he wants to go, we'll sell him to the higher bidder."
Did Vida just say that he hasn't seen Rooney in better shape in five years?
I think it is now obvious he is staying.
Yep.
That's 10 millions more.
What?? its clear as day he dosent want to stay therefore he has to go
What's that Vida? Rooney's in his best shape in years in preparation for leaving Manchester United for somebody else?
What respect for his new team there.
What respect for his new team there.
Against his will? I want to know from Wayne Rooney himself, that he is staying. He better not throw his toys out the pram ever again.
It's not really though.
Like I said, that's pretty much what Moyes was going to say regardless. He's not going to say in his first press conference that our most well known and high profile player wants to leave and is up for sale to other clubs.
Ronaldo was better than Rooney in the circumstances being compared. No great surprise given that he's a much better player.
People aren't actually going to take "we won't sell him" at face value, are they? It seems clear from the way Moyes answered the questions that Rooney hasn't said he wants to stay. If he decides he wants to go then the club will obviously sell him. So, pretty much what we already thought.
Ferguson said Wayne wasn't going to be sold. Moyes said Wayne wasn't going to be sold.
Caf reaction: he's off.
The fact that Rooney is in shape, training hard and looks happy is enough for me. I don't know what will happen with his contract but I think he'll have been told by his agent to make himself unsellable. He's being coy. I'm not remotely arsed what he does if he's at 100% on the pitch.

Come on he went on about him becoming a legend scoring goals bla bla, also said what happened with SAF is in the past he is obviously staying
A simple "Wayne wants to stay" would have sorted it all out. The fact that he kept dodging that question means nothing's sorted yet. No one asked how well he's been training.
Yeah, a journalist asked if Rooney has said he wants to stay and Moyes replied with something like "He's been training brilliantly."
He's gone if we get a decent offer.
Rooney still wants to leave it seem, but we won't sell him so he has to move on and do a job for us for his £140.000/week wages..
Well except that he probably put in this effort in the gym with another club in mind [assuming that Moyes and Vidic aren't stretching the truth somewhat].
The club are saying he's not for sale.Rooney on the other hand as not said anything.
I bet he's in terrible shape and we're just saying otherwise to trick someone into buying him for a high price. We must be feeding him burgers and beers in the cafeteria.
Well I think Wayne wants off and Moyes is trying to get the most money he can out of him tbh. That's what I take from that.
It wouldn't hurt him if he went on twitter and said he want's to stay at United.
Hes training brilliantly.....oh well how kind of him.....its not as if that's what he is paid to be doing....no.....hang on!
If Rooney had told Moyes he was staying then why did Moyes dodge the question when he was asked? That indicates that Rooney hasn't told Moyes he wants to stay, so Moyes doesn't know for sure what Rooney will decide. If Rooney decides he wants to go then we will sell him. How many times have we heard "the club won't sell X" before a player gets sold? You'd have to be unbelievably naive to take what Moyes says at face value.
I don't agree he's done anything with another club in mind. That's all just guesswork.
I don't assume that they're stretching the truth. It's possible but logic would point to Rooney staying at this point in time. I'll give Moyes the benefit of the doubt here. I want Rooney to stay and find his form so I'd rather not search deeply for negatives. Where else is Rooney going to go? Where else does he want to go?
Well it would be a lie clearly if he still wants to leave.
I have to say it sounds like we're basically saying he isn't moving for a cut price fee.
It seems clear that he still wants to leave, which means that he isn't going to sign a new contract. Given his value we aren't going to let him run his contract down. The way I see it is that this could well drag on and on.
I imagine a situation where Chelsea, City, PSG or Madrid haven't brought a top striker in by late August and come up with a significant (£30-35m+) offer. If not a high offer in January is always a possibility.
From the start I said there were two options: he signs a new contract (2 year extension or more) or he leaves. Whether this occurs this Summer or in January who knows.

Can't believe now we all have to sing 'I saw my mate, the other day' again.
Hullo Wayne, you beauty.

Feels like the same sounds as when RVP was leaving Arsenal and went to their pre-season training camp... "He's training well" but no word as to where his heads at.
Do people still want Wayne if he doesn't actually want to be here, which seems to be the case?
NO
Pretty big assumption that he's not motivated... Especially given everything Moyes said in the presser goes against that notion.
Exactly right. There were murmurs he was training well and set to sign a new contract. We all know what happened there. Sir Alex once said he wouldn't sell Real Madrid a virus.
If Rooney wants to stay, then fantastic. However, Moyes didn't hint that Rooney said he wants to stay. This concerns me. As for now, he's not for sale and my suspicion is we'll sell him to the highest bidder.
No I would get rid of him, and try and go for El Shaarawy.
If Moyes can get him playing well then I don't care if he wants to be here or not.
Not the smallest if in the world of course.
