Bryan Robson surprised that Rooney wants to leave Old Trafford

Ex-Manchester United captain, Bryan Robson is surprised at Wayne Rooney‘s decision to move away Manchester United. He said to sky sports:

“I don’t know what’s in the head of Wayne and his agent – why he wants to leave, I know he was at loggerheads with Sir Alex but David Moyes is the manager now.”

“To me it is so important for him to concentrate on his football this season.”

“I don’t know what he sees – the grass is greener on the other side – the fans love him, the players love him so I don’t see what the unsettlement is.”

Chelsea has made two bids worth £25million and £30million, which have been rejected. To Robson it is an ‘insult’ to Rooney, as his value is much higher.

Robson said: “The thing that makes me laugh is I’ve been told it [the latest bid] is £25m to £30m. For Wayne Rooney? A 27-year-old who is probably in the top six strikers in the world?” said Robson.

“What are United going to have to pay to replace him? I’m amazed at that. I think it is an insult to Wayne Rooney.”

Chelsea on the other hand look set for a third bid after their manager, Jose Mourinho labelled Rooney as their number one target.
