Moyes ready for Rooney D-day
Posted Tuesday, May 21, 2013 by The Sun
DAVID MOYES will meet Wayne Rooney to demand 100 per cent commitment to Manchester United — or give the go-ahead for his exit.
New boss Moyes does not want the uncertainty of a sideshow as he takes the huge job of succeeding Alex Ferguson.
The 50-year-old will not officially start until July 1 — but Fergie gave him a tour of United’s Carrington training centre yesterday during which he met backroom staff.
And with the Rooney problem top of his agenda, he aims to sort it out this week.
England star Roo, 27, has asked to quit United for a second time, after first doing so in October 2010.
He was subsequently left out of Ferguson’s final two squads.
Moyes, who gave Rooney his full debut at Everton as a 16-year-old, has had his differences with the player in the past but they have since made up.
But he now has to decide whether it is best to cash in and spend the £25million they would get for Roo on someone else.
The club are certainly ready to sell. Rooney has two years left on his contract and there are no moves from United to give him a new one.
United’s fans have also turned against him.
