England coach Neville believes his unsettled former United team-mate is far
better off staying at Old Trafford.
Neville said: “I played with Wayne for many years. He’s a fantastic footballer.
“Personally, with my allegiances, I’d never recommend anyone leave United
because I believe it is a great stage to play football and you can achieve
what you want there.”
Rooney is wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking on Talksport, Neville added: “I’ve seen David Beckham and other big
players leave United and it really is something that comes down to the
individual and the club.
“I’ve seen Ryan Giggs, when he was 27, linked to Inter Milan, Juventus and AC
Milan and stay.”
SunSport revealed yesterday new boss David Moyes has already held summit talks
with Rooney.
Now it has emerged that Moyes, who officially takes charge today, faces a
major stumbling block.
Rooney is demanding the club make it clear he did NOT ask to leave for a
second time last May.
But the United hierarchy will be nervous about contradicting ex-boss Alex
Ferguson, who said after his final home game Rooney “asked for a transfer.”
The striker has been fed up with being played out of position and dropped for
the Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
But while he may have suggested he would be better off elsewhere he denies
actually asking to leave United.
