Gary Neville believes Wayne Rooney can be convinced to stay with Manchester United.
He admitted that some players get to a point in their career where they want a different challenge, but sees a way back for Rooney if he stays at the club.
"He went through a situation two or three years ago if you remember," England assistant coach Neville said. "It was quite a public situation but he still continued to want to play football. We are all big enough to understand that players want to leave football clubs, I think there is a way to leave a football club.
"If Manchester United decide not to sell him I think that he will go about his business in absolutely the way he has done previously. He's a street footballer, he's someone who, even now, speaking to people last week, he is training hard, he wants to play, wants to do well, keeps his professionalism about him.
"I don't see how Manchester United can sell him at this moment in time. I really don't because they won't be able to replace him."
