What a turn around.
Fergie has completely out manouvered Rooney with his press conference the other day, turning the Man U fans and much of the media against him to the extent that his life would have been intolerable had he gone to another English club, especially City.
I still can't see it working, there must be a lot of bitterness and Rooney may well be under too much mental pressure to ever be the same player again. He is going to get some ferocious stick wherever he plays for a good while on.
Edit -
I've just read that he has doubled his wage to 180k per week. Maybe he has out manouvered the club?
