da apostebet: Manchester United have dismissed weekend press speculation suggesting that they could be tempted to sell England striker Wayne Rooney in the January transfer window.
da supremo: Real Madrid are rumoured to be preparing a massive bid for the 24-year-old, who has struggled for form for both club and country this season.
Rooney was recently left out for a couple of games by boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who suggested that his player had been hampered by an ankle injury.
However, Rooney played down such talk and suggested that he has been fit all season, sparking talk of a rift with Ferguson that could lead to a parting of the ways.
Despite such rumours, a club spokesman commented: "To suggest Wayne Rooney will be sold in January is nonsense."
Rooney joined United in the summer of 2004 from Everton and has since scored 132 goals in 289 appearances in all competitions.Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
