The departure of Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to throw a cat amongst the pigeons in regards to Premier League football, but it may not be the only man they will miss this summer, as the Mirror are reporting Wayne Rooney is on his way to Germany.
He has apparently confided in his teammates that he wants a switch to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich after being used as a squad player since the arrival of Robin van Persie.
Sit down Wayne, we have heard all this before. Remember?
With Bayern still striving to secure the signature of Polish goal-gobbler Robert Lewandowski and already possessing some of the most talented forwards in Europe, this deal hinges on many factors.
This stinks of someone looking for attention, telling everybody they’re leaving in hope that someone tries to persuade him to stay when in reality no one bats an eyelid.
A major temptation for the move to the Bavarian club is said to be the prospect of working under Pep Guardiola, who is widely recognised as one of the most exciting coaches on the planet. I am not sure how he will feel when Rooney comes knocking at his door though…
Rooney has been linked French giants PSG of late but rumours where quickly squashed by Sir Alex, but now that he has decided to scurry into the darkness with his glass of Rose things may be different.
