Ferguson’s decision to step down from his coaching
role at manchester united looks to have invoked hot
fire in the United squad.


Top Players Like Robin Vanpersie didn’t hesitate to
hide their disappointment on his decision. Robin said:


“I had to gasp for breath and I shook my head. Had
he really said what I thought he’d said?”


“The room fell deathly quiet and then everyone
became emotional.


“Sir Alex then had a long talk with the squad. I found
it a very special speech and felt privileged to have
witnessed it.


“It was an historical moment for football, even though
I was not happy to hear his message.”


He(Robin) obviously wouldn’t be asking for a transfer
request. And you find that a bit funny because his
primary decision of moving to Manchester was to
work under Fergie- and since Fergie is gone- he has
to adapt under new manager David Moyes.


His other team-mate nicknamed shrek by twitter
users isn’t feeling the same.


I knew from the moment Fergie decided to play Robin
as the main striker, and place Rooney in a more
deeper role in the midfield that it was never going to
work out. Rooney has clearly reiterated his desire to
play as the Main Striker or he’s leaving. And when
you look at United’s bench comprising of Welbeck,
Hernandez, then Robin Vanpersie, that is going to be
a major headache for David Moyes. Moreso, Big
players have got big egos, you don’t expect keeping
Rooney on the bench since he has refused that deep-
lying midfield role. He is a big players and if he isn’t
played in his preferred position, then he might opt to
leave. Robin on the other hand had a fantastic season
where he was the major catalyst that spurred
united’s early league acquisition. That means, he falls
first in the pecking order in the attack department.


And that also means, Rooney falls second or third
(clearly can’t be last heh).
Then in a strange twist of fate, the same manager
who called Rooney an arrogant player, and also sued
him once is set to be his coach next season. That is
like Pouring hot water on sour wound. Although,
pundits may suggest they may both work out their
differences, which I find possible. but then, Rooney is
more like an enigma,aggressive,arrogant, you name
it. he’s totally unpredictable, he could decide to hand
in a transfer request today, and block it tomorrow.
And Remember, a big manager like Fergie had torrid
times with Rooney on few occasions. So expecting
Moyes to contain his behaviors and do the daddy-son
thing is impossible.


That leaves Rooney with two big decisions- Stay or
Leave.


If he chooses the latter, they are numerous clubs
wanting to secure his services despite his gigantic
wages.
Arsenal, according to the media, are in pole position
to strike a deal with United. Owner Ivan Gasidiz gave
Wenger the boost of the Club’s ability to afford
Rooney’s transfer fee and wages.
A move to Arsenal is quite ideal. Olivier Giroud has
struggled on few occasions and isn’t that lethal or
clinical striker. Unlike Rooney who possess those
abilities. So a starting place at Arsenal is guaranteed
unless Arsenal get Falcao, then he should be worried.
(heh)
Rooney is still in a productive football age and staying
at Manchester involves two things – Endure whatever
Moyes decides even if it doesn’t match your
satisfaction, play second-fiddle to Robin.
He clearly wouldn’t want any of those.
So your thoughts, should Rooney stay at Manchester
United or seek for Greener pastures elsewhere?
