I think the way this has been handled is dreadful. It would appear that deals are being done about his future without bothering to consult him first! He still has two years to run on his current contract but it would seem that this isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

I don't want him to leave Man Utd - neither does he by the sound of things - but the behind the scenes machinations have surely made his future at Old Trafford untenable? Perhaps this was the whole point - to force him out??

Whoever is responsible for this complete fiasco needs a good rollicking. Getting rid of one of your finest players, the player who creates most of the income for your club doesn't make sense to me.
