Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney, has sent in a transfer request, asking to leave Manchester United.
Speculations were rife this week, that the England international wanted out, after Ferguson himself announced he was leaving the club and he has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
The manager revealed after the 2-1 win over Swansea, that the former Everton man was keen to leave and that is why he was left out the side on Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t think Wayne was keen to play, simply because he has asked for a transfer,” Ferguson told Sky Sports 1.
