Wayne Rooney could be in trouble

Reportedly, Old Traf­ford boss Sir Alex Fer­guson has not been pleased with Wayne Rooney´s com­mit­ment in recent weeks. And as a dir­ect res­ult, the Eng­land inter­na­tional was left on the sub­sti­tutes´ bench for the home tie against Ful­ham last Sat­urday with the Manchester United coach opt­ing for sum­mer sign­ing Shinji Kagawa instead.

Wayne Rooney was a not­able omis­sion from the start­ing lineup against The Cot­tagers at Old Traf­ford. And when the centre for­ward came on in the second half, he even­tu­ally left the field on a stretcher with a gash to the leg. The Manchester United icon could now be side­lined for up to eight weeks from the injury he suffered in the clos­ing minutes of the 3–2 vic­tory over Mar­tin Jol´s men.

Sir Alex Fer­guson: “I really respect play­ers who clearly want to play for us and it has always influ­enced me when it comes to decid­ing who we should go for. The reverse is equally true for me because if I hear that a player has fallen out of love with us and is look­ing else­where I invari­ably help them on their way out.”
