Rooney set for Man United exit - but can anyone afford him?

Striker is out of favour at Old Trafford and could be sold for around £20m in the summer

WAYNE ROONEY could be on his way out of Manchester United after being dropped for the Champions League game against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The Independent described the match as "one of United's half-dozen biggest games of the past decade" and said the striker's omission from the starting line-up appeared to confirm the belief that he has fallen out of favour with Alex Ferguson. With further concerns over his fitness, there is speculation in all today’s newspapers that Rooney could be sold this summer for as little as £20m.
