Anyone else got absolutely no idea what these two are talking about?

There's been rumours flying around about Rooney's absence from the team not being for the stated reason given by the club, they ramped up last night and there's been fairly well documented reports of legal threats by Rooney's people to the point where newspapers have issued retractions.

There's two ways to look at I guess, either its demonstrably bollocks, and Team Rooney are just trying to protect their 'brand' or they're close to the truth and they're trying to stop it getting out.

Discussion of it starts on the bottom of this page:

You could have just said depression or alcoholism.. Which I think is just speculation anyway

Yeah, but with the legal threats and the precedent for suing people for posts on forums (thanks Oystons) and the like I thought it best not to repeat them here. Especially as the rumours are easily found elsewhere.

I haven't seen anything of substance regarding the rumour, despite the Twitter talk, it seems to be guess work based on Mitten's article.

In any case his absence is definitely puzzling, Red Issue said a couple weeks ago he turned up to training with alcohol in his system.

LvG said he may play tomorrow and has been training all week.

I am very happy and honoured to have won the Golden Boy, it was a surprise for me... A great Christmas gift. It's an honour to be compared to the great Thierry Henry, but I have a duty to remain down to earth. We can't make mistakes, we have to come back strong against Norwich... Van Gaal is right, we have only one result available. The comments I hear (about transfer fee) don't bother me... I was just in a hurry to move to Manchester and play football. I'd like to dedicate it to our fans, they are incredible, formidable, they travel from anywhere... can always hear them singing.

Love this guy, good head on his shoulders.

Martial won this match & 3 points for us. Probably he was only player who fucked the LvG philosophy during today`s game. Still our deff looks hesitantly.

Today`s match against Sheffield Utd was the next one for sado-maso lovers. Shit on the pitch, unfortunately. I hope LvG will leave the OT really soon.

He should be sacked for saying that alone, never mind the absolute rubbish he serves up week after week.

Not that I'm complaining if he stays on

i actually found myself feeling a bit drowsy just watching it on the telly, watching the ball go backwards and side to side for 90 minutes is strangely hypnotic...

Van Gaal has even admitted he's found us boring.

Maybe do something about it then.

This isn't something new though.

We've been pretty boring under Van Gaal the entire time.

We had that good patch when we beat City, Spurs and Liverpool in that good run, but for most part we've been poor.

What I find weird about that run, and I can understand wanting to phase Fellaini out, is that at no point during our shit run of form this season did it occur to Van Gaal to replicate those tactics.

I'd be inclined to think he's not even contemplated that or had it cross his mind.

I doubt there'll be much change tonight against Newcastle tbh.

van gaal keeps blaming our style of football on the lack of pacy wingers in the squad, but he has already had 3 transfer windows to sort that out and spent a fortune in those 3 windows, and now he is into a 4th window. if we still don't have any good wingers after his 4th transfer window at the club and virtually an open cheque book then it is his own fault. also, if he thinks we lack pace why does he keep playing mata on the wing when we have, lingard, depay or even valencia who could play there, i know they are a pretty poor bunch but they couldn't do any worse then mata surely...

Ashley Young has a 'severe' groin injury and will be operated on and 'out for a long time'.

So thats Valencia, Young, Rojo, and Shaw out with long term injuries in the full back position.

I've read from some United fans on Twitter that our academy and scouting are a mess at the moment.

History repeating itself after Busby left. Same mistakes.
