Wayne Rooney: United is not good enough for me. Fans: Who is the whore now Wayne?

The Manchester United faithful have turned on Wayne Rooney after he revealed that the club is no longer good enough to satisfy his footballing ambitions.

In a statement issued before the kick-off Rooney said he was leaving because the club were not prepared to invest in world-class players to win trophies.

And he said he was 'surprised' by the version of events given by Sir Alex in his press conference on Tuesday.

Ferguson insisted he had never had an argument with his star striker and that Rooney had suffered an ankle injury against Rangers in September - despite contradictory comments from the player. "If he doesn't play for the club again meaning he could be paid £1million in wages for doing nothing before he is sold in January."

But Ferguson left the door open slightly saying: 'There’s always an offer there for Manchester United to negotiate with a player. That’s still there.'
