wants to leave Manchester United - again. The ex-Everton man has verbally requested to leave and his near-decade long stay at Old Trafford is once more under scrutiny. The last time the England international pulled this stunt, back in October 2010, United - or rather Sir Alex Ferguson - desperately managed to talk him down from quitting and persuaded him into penning a new five-year deal. This time round, the club should not be so accommodating. In the three years that have passed since, the landscape of Old Trafford is a vastly different one. When once Rooney was integral to the side, he is now peripheral. When once he was adored by the fans, he now finds himself jeered.

French moneybags Paris St-Germain have been linked with a move for the want-away star, as have Bayern Munich, and this time United should let him go. A new dawn is slowly being ushered in under new manager David Moyes and if Rooney doesn't want to be part of the post-Ferguson project, so be it. He has proven himself as a distracting influence and, as these pages will explain, an insult to Ferguson's legacy. Click "Next" to find out why United should Get Rid Of Wayne Rooney.
