adminWednesday with his future still up in the air. It is understood he did not have a specific meeting with new manager David Moyes about his situation.
That may happen at the club’s Carrington training centre yesterday.
The two men did speak but not for long and United’s stance on him remains unchanged.
They say the England forward is not for sale. Having knocked back a speculative enquiry from Barclays Premier League rivals Arsenal last week, United have not had any contact from one of the few clubs that could afford Rooney.
The only way the situation will change is if the player decides to force the issue. Sportsmail revealed at the end of last season that Rooney had suggested to previous United manager Sir Alex Ferguson that a move may be in his best interests.
A written request would mean Rooney would write off any money owed on the two remaining years of his £250 000-a-week contract. Moyes, who has recruited former United defender Phil Neville to his backroom staff, hopes Rooney will agree to stay but knows that is not certain, even though, at the start of the summer, the former Everton forward was understood to be prepared for a new start under the manager who nurtured him at Goodison Park.
With Moyes due to speak to the media for the first time on Friday, clarification could come soon. Rooney is known to want some words of conciliation from the club in the wake of last season’s rancour in order to protect him from a backlash from supporters. — Mailonline.
