He who once wanted to commit the rest of his career to the club, now asks about whether there is a future at the club and where the ambition has gone. A certain Sir Alex Ferguson replied with "35 trophies". And thats only under the great man himself.
So even though Rooney has signed a whopping contract, making him the highest paid player in history (reward for form? Hmm), one has to question his intentions and loyalties to the club and I quote "Once a blue, always a blue". Wayne will have to rebuild his relationship with the fans again after slashing them down at the ankles with allegations that he may go to Manchester City, so a return to form is in serious need. But with the emergence of Javier Hernandez aka Ole Gunner Solskjaer 2.0, Wazza will have to prove his worth to the manager and the fans once again.
No Player Bigger Than The Club?
Even with the quality of talent coming through the ranks, one has to ask the question. Does Wayne Rooney need Man U as much as they need him?
The answer is a definitive no. He is still very much a hot property even through the worst slump of his career and still an asset to be aquired by Europe's biggest clubs. So can he ask such questions of the club and demand such propositions? Yes. It is evident that the club have lacked in the department left by that boy Ronaldo and there has been little in the way to show that they are now a better club for selling him. But does Rooney have the right to cross Fergie and slap United across the cheeks? The club that made him? No.
Will he be at United when City come knocking with a bumper offer? Contracts evidently just paper, it all depends on how much he values his loyalties and what price they they can be bought for. One night with a Sheikh made of money makes the outlook look bleak for United fans across the globe.
