The former Everton striker famously asked Manchester United board to let him leave the club in 2010 after falling out with Ferguson for questioning the club’s ambition.

The striker and the Scot fell out again during the manager’s final year at the Theatre of Dreams.

Rooney was unhappy after Manchester United allowed Ronaldo and Tevez to leave the club in 2009, with the club bringing in Antonio Valencia, Michael Owen and Gabriel Obertan as replacements.
“They were offering me a contract of £200,000 a week, so it would have been quite easy for me to say, ‘five years, £200,000 a week… let me sign it now,’’ Rooney said, according to Metro.

But I wanted success on the pitch – that means more to me.

“We sold [Carlos] Tevez, then we sold [Cristiano] Ronaldo, I was the one player left who was high profile.

“I went into Alex Ferguson’s office, and I said to him: ‘What’s the plan here? At the minute, we’ve brought in two young English players who are unproven.’ I Alex Ferguson’s response was, ‘Get out of my office.’”

Manager with balls!

Ftc
Ferguson na ogba

Damnnn niggar

Isoright.....

Even as at then Ferguson was aware that Penaldo is overrated

You needed to be sent out...

Any manager/coach that allows his big players to display too much power, to the point of questioning his decisions is headed for doom.

See bad belle

F

Really

Ororo

Depends on how he presented his questions as two captains can not steer a ship. The first law of power was actually broken by Rooney.


Law 1. Never Outshine the Master
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. Hide the extent of your own talents, as your masters may otherwise feel insecure. The better you make your master appear, the greater the level of power you will attain. Those above you want to feel secure and superior in their positions. This may involve making a few harmless mistakes so that you can ask your master for help.

If, however, you are more naturally charming than your master, it would be best to avoid working for them entirely.

Imagine...you sold Ronaldo and Tevez and then replaced them with Antonio Valencia, a spent Michael Owen and Gabriel Obertan...No be juju be that ?

Damnnn bitch

Isoright

I could imagine in fergusons voice "GET OUT OF MY OFFICE"

Ferguson was no pushover manager.

You don't dictate for him, he called the shots.

Manchester United under him was much more managed and better than now.

I wish I could change club, watching man u matches these days, gives me headache.

Nonsense

Ronaldo is back now. He's doing well. Rooney can as well go and him

Ok

Sorry Rooney it was a period when the Ronaldo charm was very potent on Sir Alex Ferguson.
His eyes don clear now

Wait, is it Michael Owen that Rooney is calling unproven English player cos Valencia and Obertan aren't English?

When you start to question an ancestor like Ferguson, he'll begin to tell you how your grandfather met you grandmother and gave birth to your father

Man United's have lost their standings. Old Trafford old trophies and old players

Alex Ferguson is the BOSS. No player was too big for him.

The money man utd wasted on sancho wud hv been used to purchase saunt maximin from Newcastle, Adama from wolves and Trippier from atletico. man u don't still understand the value of a quality RB. look at barca , they brought back Dani Alves and they had their best game and first win against atletico or real madrid in 2 yrs. man u dont hv a RB , LB and a fantastic winger cos they always wanna favour the British players . Stop playing maguire and shaw and replace them with Eric Bailey and Telles. I also don't know y they did not get new players this transfer window. Sancho will do well in city but not in man utd, Grealish will rather do better in utd than city. But I still don't buy into these British players. Utd don't even have a defensive midfield player, not one single quality DM

Lol

Rooney was one of the last breed of players committed to the game.....

Fergy was crazy I swear, how could he tell a player like Rooney that? Rooney was such a loyalist and great player for him to have continued playing for the club afterward. Mind you, that senseless decision by the board that Rooney questioned marked the beginning of the present retrogression of the club.
