Honestly, he's earned the right to retire here if that's what he wants. As long as he's willing to accept whatever role the manager has for him, he's been a legend for this club and will go down in the history books once he hangs up his boots. Whatever people might say about him, he has earned that right. His role in the team should he wish to stay is another matter.

Doubt Jose would sell him. Would be up for the challenge of getting him performing. It will be OK tho, cause Jose also won't pin all our goal scoring hopes for the season on Wayne, and if Wayne performs poorly he won't start every game.

Louis picked him so consistently when he was playing his absolute worst it drew a lot of hate towards Wayne, given proper competition for places the pressure won't be as much. Some of his best performances came when he wasn't the main man in attack.

That's actually a really good point. I don't think Mourinho would have selected him at all considering his form at the time. (Eg John Terry in title winning year vs this year) Additionally, there is an extended argument to say this would have made him train harder and perhaps regain form quicker.

250k ffs every single time. But yes there is a serious issue here, going forward do we keep Rooney.

Honestly, who would take him?

Would he take the wage cut in order to get more first team football at a smaller club?

Would he even be willing to play less minutes and be more of a "backroom leader" with us?

Personally I would say unless he is happy with becoming a bit part player here sell him, as it allows us to make room for younger, potentially better players .

China will take him. Depends on him though.

[–]CosmicGravyMemphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It would be a good deal for all if we sold him to some Chinese club but like you said, it's all up to him.

Its 250+50 in personal endorsements and commercial rights.

The new deal involves a basic wage of £250,000 a week, but with commercial rights making it more lucrative for the player, up to £300,000.

We don't pay him any additional money. If Rooney left he'd still make endorsements. Why is Wayne Rooney the only player on the planet whose salary in relation the club is talked about with his endorsements?

[–]TimmyBashSchweinsteiger 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because his deal was one of the first of its kind. He actually wouldn't make the same amount of these endorsements. The endorsements are connected to the club but not directly from the club. Hence, the common confusion about his salary.

[–]Creamy_Goodne55[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I imagine its because the endorsements are specifically part of his contract that its set he takes a certain amount of the endorsments that come to the club because of / that include him.

Yes he gets will allways have endorsements but I always thought this was more about him getting a share in club endorsements rather than his own personal ones.

The telegraph did a great write up about it at the time.

[–]Murderrsoccermods 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure it was more along the lines of the clubs commercial department will work for him (and most of our major signings signings from now on) to help him increase his reach, thereby increasing the amount he makes on endorsements. But that's at no cost to the club.

I can see Rooney retiring at United unless we're offered some stupid sum from a Chinese club.

Also, we pay him £250k.

Also fuck everyone that downvoted this. This guy has put forth is thoughts and even expanded on it and you guys just downvote and move on. Nice post OP, I think you've started a conversation we should be having about Rooney.

Sell him to who though? I doubt any club in England or even Europe would be willing to keep his wages that high, perhaps 5 years ago but not now.

If he were to be sold it would have to be willingly but as far as i can see wherever he went would involve negatives from his point of view.

[–]Creamy_Goodne55[S] -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Everton is the one that springs to mind.

Just had investment so the wages wouldnt be an issue, I imagine with his age he would end up taking a cut in exchange for more commercial rights again and he loves the club.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Those wages are out of the question for a club like Everton regardless of the recent investment. The commercial rights while playing for Everton would also be worth peanuts compared to at United.

[–]craigybachaManchester United 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wages are ridiculous yes, however at certain times this year he has carried the team and with a lack of experienced players he will probably be needed next season more than ever to lead.

[–]Idislikemyroommate 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Personally I would keep him.

I'd still want to make some reinforcements to our striking options but other than him and Carrick, there aren't many players who have made over 150 appearances for the club.

His role as captain has actually been impressive and having him around the club for another year or so does have its benefits.
