Previously an integral member of the team but in recent weeks Wayne Rooney has not been in his best form for Manchester United and his future at the club seems to be in doubt after being dropped by Jose Mourinho. Rumours of his imminent exit from the club, probably in January have slashed his Online Betting odd.
The Man United skipper has had an awful season so far and has struggled for form making less impact so far this season. This has cumulated into his failure to cement a place in Mourinho starting eleven, missing out on a place in the first team in four consecutive games before starting the match against Fernabache.
Manchester United as a club has not found it rosy this season. The Red Devils lost three matches in succession in the Premier League and Europa League and were humbled 4-0 at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
Rooney was pegged at 50/1 odd of leaving Old Trafford in January at the beginning of the season but judging from his current predicament the odds have outrageously slashed to 4/1 signalling the 31-year-old striker could end his twelve years relationship with the club sooner than expected.
It is been speculated in the media that the England skipper has been told by Mourinho that he can leave the club which could either be on loan or on a permanent transfer.
With his next potential destination seemingly unknowns, Leon Osman, Rooney’s team-mate at Everton said he believes he may return to the Goodison Park.
With just a goal so far this season, Rooney has not scored in the Premier League since the opening since the opening weekend of the season. He is three goals behind Sir Bobby Charlton’s 249 goal record at Manchester United but that record could remain for a longer period should he exit the Old Trafford.
Rooney arguably could pass for a Manchester United legend and it is somehow certain that Jose Mourinho may not face any hitch or threat sort of relegating the talisman to the bench unlike in Chelsea where he lost the backroom and the cooperation of the players when he removed some ‘big players’ of the club from his first team, a move that eventually led to his sack at the London club.
However, Jose Mourinho has insisted that the forward remain a part of his plan dismissing reports of his exit from the club.
Rooney joined Manchester United from Everton under Sir Alex Ferguson in 2004 aged 19 years. He has won five Premier League titles, one Champion League trophy, the World Club, the Carling cup among other individual honours.
