The Manchester United official has lambasted claims that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 star will be sold amidst reports in the media that a £40 million exit was being lined up.

picks the best team to win the game and that's it.”
"He's a manager who's been so successful and there will be rotation. Robin van Persie has shown the desire to play for Manchester United. With him, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexander-Büttner-c4818 and Angelo Henriquez, we've refreshed pretty well.”
United next take on Southampton, but Rooney is ruled out with a horrific gash injury he suffered against Fulham and is going to be out for the next month or so.
