Wayne
Rooney took some of the gloss off Alex Ferguson's Old Trafford farewell
party on Sunday after the United manager confirmed the striker has
asked to leave the club for the second time in three years.
"I don't think Wayne was keen to play because he's asked for a transfer and he wants to think it through in his mind. I think that's a good idea. We're not going to let him go. I think maybe he's a little bit frustrated that he's been taken off once or twice in the last few weeks."
Asked to confirm that Rooney had submitted a transfer request, Ferguson replied: "Yes, he's asked, yeah."
"We have refused it. I think he should go away and think it over again. He wasn't happy about being taken off a few times this season, but a Wayne Rooney in top form wouldn't be taken off."
