Rooney saga

Looks like another saga is boiling over. The media is picking up on dissatisfaction in the Man Utd camp and smells blood.

If the media is to be trusted, Wayne Rooney is set to switch clubs. It was not so long ago when Rooney told public media that he is commited to Man Utd and the cause.

What a shame it will be if England's most talented player is to leave arguably the most successful club in modern history to join Real Madrid or worse... Chelsea.

I don't like to see Rooney leave, I hope the sensible part of him will prevail and tell him this is only a phase he needs to get through; with all the media scrutiny and the reported disagreements with the gaffer. I hope he sees the better examples in Giggs and Scholes to realise that longevity in a successful footballing career lies in concentrating what is on the field not what is off it.

There is simply nowhere else for Wayne Rooney, an English born and bred to ply his trade at the highest level.

But then again, Man Utd is bigger than any player, and as much as the hearts of many fans will ache with regret, we will wish the Roon all the best wherever he might choose to go. His departure will free up space for new stars to arise. Case in point, Nani is flourishing with Ronaldo gone.

Ding ding, next legend-in-the-making please...
