Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has said he expects Wayne Rooney to leave Old Trafford in the summer in order to secure more playing time at another club. “I’d be very surprised if Wayne is with us next season because I think he wants to move on to get first team football.”

Robson also shed light on Rooney’s omission from the England squad, claiming the striker should be joining up with the Three Lions. “I know Wayne really well, he will be really disappointed that he has been left out of the England squad...he has been involved with the squad all the time, he’s been training, he has played a lot of the league games of late.” Robson warned people not to forget that Rooney is still a top class player, as proven by his scoring records, player appearances and the amount of trophies he has won.
