The Independent released a story stating that Wayne Rooney was going to be sold in January. Predictably Man Utd quickly denied the allegations, and Rooney himself on Twitter said the story was rubbish. But I have my doubts.
Man Utd have lost their touch in the past month or so, they got hammered at Newcastle in their last game, and Rooney has reasons to doubt. I reckon if another team put a 40 or 50 million offer on the table, Man Utd would gibe it some serious thought. Wayne Rooney is a phenomenal player, you can't deny it, even though he does go through bad patches at times.
That is why this is the best moment for another team to make an offer. It's the start of the transfer window, Man Utd are playing badly, Rooney is a bit unsettled, and so if I were a team with loads of money I would make a cheeky 45 million bid.
The worst that can happen is that it gets rejected. It really is worth a shot and as I said, I reckon Man Utd would seriously consider it. If you throw in a playmaker, that should complete the deal. Sneijder and 10 million for Rooney could be a good deal for Inter, especially as Forlan (or Rooney) can drop deeper into the playmaker role.
