Mourinho has told Rooney to hand in a transfer request within 48hrs or they will go in another direction.

Flint, you may be right but we all need to understand it doesn't matter what Rooney or Chelsea want, he can't move to Chelsea without United agreeing and that isn't going to happen in this window.

Would b gutted if he handed in a transfer request after the reception he got tonight. Pure class from the United fans and Rooney responded. Anybody know if he thanked the fans at the end? Eds do ye still think we will sign felanni and bains
Cheers {Ed007's Note - Fellaini yes, Baines no. I don't think Utd would pay the money Everton are looking for.}

I would not be in anyway surprised if he puts one in. Does not mean we will sell but he will be finished with the fans and his last bastion of supporters once he does that.

007, I agree, especially without selling Evra too. If we received a good offer from Monaco and Evra was leaving we would pay what it takes to get Baines, but whilst Evra is still here it's simply too expensive.

Rooney can hand in the transfer request all he likes he still won't be going to chelsea, desperate and laughable attempt by Jose

I'd still sell him.
How has one game changed anything about him? A transfer request put in again, comes back AGAIN unfit for start of the season, throws a paddy because he's not the main man, never has never will be.
We could get £40m for him if lucky, plus £250k a week off our wages!
We have two players who deserve more game time and that's Hernandez and Kagawa, they both offer great dimensions.
If we don't sell him now we won't sell till next year and we'll get half the amount for him.

Very desperate and unprofessional by Mourinho. Rooney is class and he proved that again last night, he looked like he had a point to prove and long may it continue. There's no other player in world football like Rooney.

Melwing he didn't come back this pre season unfit? Apart from any injuries which you can't blame him for a few people said it's the slimmest they've seen him in 5 years.

Ed 007 do you not think Baines could play left side of midfield, alternating up and down flank with evra? Giggs was asked to come on at left wing for welbeck and moyes could only trust him there for 20 mins due to his age. Kagawa not naturally left sided, Young not good enough, Danny is a striker. we seem to be a bit light left side and there ain't many better left sided players who can cross a ball better than Baines. {Ed007's Note - He probably could play there but I still can't see Utd matching what Everton want for him.}
