Glazer talks persuaded Rooney to stay

WAYNE ROONEY has received assurances from the Glazer family that they are committed to keeping Manchester United rolling in silverware.

Although Rooney was condemned for releasing a statement on Wednesday night, two hours before the Champions League win over Bursaspor, questioning the direction of the club, the end outcome has brought reassurance that will go beyond the striker himself.

Questions have been asked about the Glazers’ ability to fund major purchases given the relatively low-key investments since Cristiano Ronaldo’s world-record departure.
