Owen: Rooney exit would be a surprise

Michael Owen would be “surprised” if former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney left Old Trafford this summer in spite of the apparent falling out between club and player.

Rooney was last night understood to be “angry and confused” at comments made in an interview last week by new United boss David Moyes, who seemed to indicate the England striker would be back-up to Robin van Persie for the forthcoming season.
