Ferguson: Rooney Will Remain At Old Traford

Media reports recently suggest Wayne Rooney has fallen out of favor at Old Traford and may hit the exit door in the summer following his relegation to the bench when Manchester United face Real Madrid at Old Traford in the second leg of the knock out stage of the UEFA Champions League. United had taken advantage after a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Benabeu. 
It was a surprise to red devil fans when the team list shows that Wayne Rooney had been left out of the starting IX. Hence sparking reports that Rooney could be on his way out of Manchester United.



However, Ferguson has come out to say that Rooney is going no where and that he will remain in the club next season.

"He will be here next season" Ferguson said "You can have my word on that"
"There is no issue between myself and Wayne Rooney. To suggest we don't talk is nonsense.

He understood the reasons completely. Tactically we got it right. We don't always but we did then.

"Welbeck is the best player we have in terms of operating a double role. We had to chalk out Xabi Alonso's ability to control the game, which he did, and also his ability to go further forward as an attacking player.

"I left out Shinji Kagawa after he scored a hat-trick. I thought I would get more stick for that."

Fergie also revealed that he has banned Daily Mail and Independent news papers "until they apologize"
