Andreas Pereira Adamant That Manchester United 'Icon' Wayne Rooney Is Not Finished
Wayne Rooney will be with Manchester United "until he dies", according to Andreas Pereira.
Andreas Pereira is adamant that Manchester United "icon" Wayne Rooney is not finished at the club after entering a difficult period in his career.
The United captain has scored only one Premier League goal so far this season and has fallen out of favour, with his appearance against Fenerbahce on Thursday his first start since an EFL Cup tie at Northampton Town on September 21.
Rooney's international status has also been affected, with interim England manager Gareth Southgate dropping him to the bench for the World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on October 11.
But Pereira, who is currently on loan at Granada, does not think Rooney should consider leaving.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "No, not for Rooney. He is the club's icon.
"You can't take him away from Manchester United. It will not be the same Manchester United without Wayne Rooney. He has to stay there until he dies."
