WITH rumours that foreign clubs may be preparing to bid for Wayne Rooney, William Hill have cut their odds for him to leave Manchester United before the start of next season from 7/1 to 5/1. ‘We offered 7/1 for Rooney to go after Sir Alex left him out against Everton, but with stories that he may be the transfer target of high profile sides, we’ve seen support for him to go and had to cut our odds to 5/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Rooney is 1/9 still to be at United on the first day of next season.
