This is from September, before the Rooney kerfuffle kicked off, but it indicates how the financial aspect of things under the Glazers is influencing their decision making.

I still can't believe Spurs got 30million from Utd for Berbatov. Totally bizarre.

Wayne Rooney's house besieged by angry Manchester United fans

Wayne Rooney's stand-off with Manchester United took a sinister turn on Thursday night with Cheshire Police called to the 24-year-old’s mansion to clear an angry mob chanting, ‘Join Man City and you die.’

Rooney, who is understood to be in turmoil over whether to accept a new offer to remain at Old Trafford, sparked fury among Manchester United supporters by claiming that he is ready to leave the club due to the failure of senior figures to prove they match his ambition.

Derogatory banners and chants were directed at Rooney during Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Bursaspor at Old Trafford, but the animosity reached new depths with a mob of around 30 people being dispersed by police.

The group, which consisted of men wearing balaclavas and Eric Cantona-masks, descended on Rooney’s family home around 8.30pm, when police were called to assist.

Eight officers arrived on the scene to clear the disturbance, which Cheshire police have confirmed cleared peacefully with no arrests made.

The mob, who were labelled as the ‘Men in Black’ on fans’ forums and Twitter last night, carried banners warning Rooney against leaving United for neighbours Manchester City.

Rooney is understood to have been in the house at the time, but the player was not confronted by the group.

The events mirror similar attacks on United chief executive David Gill and England captain Rio Ferdinand, Rooney’s United team-mate, who received a similar ‘visit’ from supporters in 2005 during his lengthy contract dispute with the club.

A United spokesman confirmed last night that they were aware of the incident at Rooney’s house, but security details surrounding the player remain a private matter.

Think we've seen Holloway's application to Ferguson's Premiership Manager Harem.

Apparently Will Smith turned up after the photographers had gone.

Followed, shortly after, by Gazza and his fishing rod.

If Rooney wants to see big names join #MUFC, what better than today's link with Thailand goalkeeper Kawin Thamsatchanan?

BBC rumour: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has performed an amazing U-turn by telling Red Devils boss sir Alex Ferguson he does not want to quit Old Trafford.

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Wayne-Rooney-Manchester-United-U-turn-Sir-Alex-Ferguson-has-met-with-agent-Paul-Stretford-for-talks-about-a-new-contract-for-the-player-article609537.html

This is just too good to be true, but that mob at Rooney's house maybe puts our own fans' behaviour in perspective when Gerrard was thinking about Chelsea.

BBC rumour: United full-back Patrice Evra believes Rooney should not play for the club again following his public declaration that they have not signed players who can make them competitive.
