Fuck me. Club, player, manager and Real's new manager all say there's not a chance but the papers keep printing this crap.
I wouldn't put it past the Glazers if they thought they could push it through though.

Marca loves stirring this kind of shit... and anti United press is just as bad.
By not sorting out Rooney's contract until after the World Cup we're taking an unncessary risk and inviting a tonne a speculation. These stories could have been prevented. Part of me thinks the Glazers are putting him in the shop window to see what kind of figures come in.
Safely file in "bollocks"
I don't read too much into their delaying his contract negotiations until after the WC. I'd say Rooney's representatives even suggested it themselves, because if his global stature and marketing value increases during the tournament, they'll have more to leverage.
Will be a good move for him. Going to a club with money to burn and a manager that wants to win things and spend money doing it.
Good luck Wayne.
LOL @ Dannii's comment.
Interesting to note that Rooney isn't anywhere near the top 20 best paid players in Europe @ 90k per week
To be fair though...
I think he's due an improved contract after the World Cup.
And the wages of the highest paid players is ridiculously unbalanced by the foolish spending of the likes of Chumpski, and The Bitters, Real, Barcelona, etc...
I mean look at the stupid money being paid to the likes of... Adebayor, Benzema, Tevez, Terry, Ballack, Raul, Toure, Robinho, Deco...
Some of those wages are for players that hardly play... and then consider that Torres is even further behind than Rooney.
Rooney should be on a better contract, as well as Vidic who only gets about 75k I think. Two of the best players in the world in their positions and nowhere international levels of pay. Conversely, Ive heard space wasters like John O Shea are on 70k a week. We could pay the best players better and the worst players worse without affecting the overall wage bill much.
