Man Utd Transfers: 5 Reasons Why Wayne Rooney Will Quit

2. He Will Continue To Play Second Fiddle To Van Persie

Wayne Rooney has played second fiddle to Robin Van Persie all season and has been consistently outshone by the deadly Dutch destroyer, who's 25 league goals helped blast the Red Devils to a record 20th Premier League title. And the Englishman will continue to remain in his shadow next season, too, because the 29 year old isn't going anywhere any time soon. In fact, if anything, Rooney could find himself fall even further down the pecking order as Danny Welbeck continues his development into a top quality player worthy of first team action. News that United are trying to sign Robert Lewandowski could be curtains for the former Everton man. At Bayern, Rooney would be a player of whom everything revolves around, much in the same way as it used to be at Old Trafford. Used to be.
