Man Utd legends: Rooney statement not his words

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 10/25/2010 - 09:30

Manchester United legends believe Wayne Rooney was poorly advised last week.

The footballing world has expressed astonishment at his eventual change of heart - with one veteran saying his head had been turned by cash.

Sammy McIlroy, who played for Manchester United 342 times between 1971 and 1982, said: "People on his side have put figures in front of him, that’s the reason he did it.

"They’ve put words in his mouth - the statements from him were a load of rubbish."

Alex Stepney, United’s goalkeeper when they won the European Cup in 1968, said: "Loyalty has gone out of the game, unfortunately.

"Ever since agents have been on the scene, they’ve wanted to move players on, but I would think Rooney probably feels he’s been given wrong advice this week."
