He has a limited window to earn as much money as he can.
Sure, hes got enough to do him now and probably enough to make sure his kids are pretty sorted, but then, what about his Grandkids?
Anyway, this is all just a game of chess, I personally do not see him at Utd come September, I think hes hoping United pay him off or do something which means he isnt out of pocket to much.
He's got more than enough money lol but I agree mate if united pay him of he's happy if it's all money orientated anyway
This game is only starting and it is completely unclear yet as to whose bluff is being called... or will be called.
Rooney is costing Utd a fortune every week. Mourinho obviously doesn't want him at the club and no club is going to pay Rooney anything close to what his current is worth.
As this game is played out I think we will see Utd pay Rooney off at least some of his contract, allowing him to leave...where to is the question , but I still think Everton is by far the most likely destination.

There are plenty of twists and manoevering to take place here - any decision on his future won't happen until other pieces fall into place, e.g. Lukaku, Belotti
I've said previously, he is well within his rights to sit tight and take his c15m per annum home. He hasn't asked for a transfer and it's contractually due to him.
Granted, by doing so he gives up on any England chances but they look more distant than ever given Soutgate's indiffference and his own form. However he hasn't asked for a transfer so it's United's problem not his. Why should he take the hit?
It's a potential transfer to us - one that divides opinion - but by us sitting tight and not bidding/enquiring its more likely United will approach us to take him with them facilitating any wage difference, like Fowler to City.
Any possible move should be on our terms, as let's face it, there are plenty of cheaper and younger options out there.
The deal could only make sense if he fits in our new wage structure. He knows that, United know that and so do the fans. It'll be brinkmanship to a degree, but let's not weaken our hand here. If he stays there, good on him, take your dough. if he comes, make it work for us and if he boxes clever he could ensure any shortfall is funded by Utd.
Let's see.

he'll leave Utd. whether he'll take a pay cut to come here appears questionable and if he's his motivation is money and not football then i'm happy with us not signing him. But he won't be a United player next season. My guess is he's just holding out for a good pay-off which i'm sure he'll get.
That's my feeling really. If he wants to take a huge pay cut to play for us then he probably feels he can still cut it and has drive and determination to succeed so it's a good move. If he just wants one last big pay day then he'll F off to China or wherever and I'm glad we swerved him. We'll see!

what's you gut feeling Shibby? I think he'll be back.
Me too mate. I think he'll come back and be really effective for us at number 10 with a few younger lads around to make runs and create space around him. I think the technical talent he has still puts him just above the bracket of players we can expect to attract with seventh place finishes and Europa instead of Champions League and his mentality as a winner is just what we need. We need more Colemans and less Jagielkas to take us to the next level imo
