Ferguson dismisses Rooney exit talk

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will still be a Manchester United player next season.

Speculation about the 27-year-old former Everton star's future had been rife after he was left out of United's starting line-up for the Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday. However, Ferguson says Rooney, who is 4/1 with bet365 to open the scoring in Sunday's FA Cup sixth-round clash against Chelsea, is going nowhere. When asked about the player, Ferguson replied: "He'll be here next year. You can have my word on that. There is no issue between myself and Wayne Rooney. To suggest we don't talk is nonsense." Manchester United are available at 9/4 to win this season's FA Cup.
