A shocked and bemused Sir Alex Ferguson revealed in Tuesday afternoon's pre - Champions leaguematchday three clash with Bursaspor that not only has Wayne Rooney injured an ankle and misses the Theatre of Dreams tussle but that he wants to walk away from Manchester United
United have been eased to 1-4 by Paddy Power to record a first European home win after their goalless Group C draw with Rangers and sneaked 1-0 win at Valencia.
And their Premier League odds continue to drift. They are now 5-1 to claim the title for a fourth time in five years.
At the press conferencea dejected Ferguson said "I had a meeting with him, and he intimated to me, in his own way, that he wanted to leave."
Reports on Monday had suggested that negotiations over Rooney's contract had broken down, as well as his relationship with the United manager.
Manchester City are now the new favourites to be his next club and are 7-4 to land the wantaway striker. The move would be considered hugely controversial in the city of Manchester and recognised as a major shift in the balance of power between the two clubs.
Despite denying any interest in the striker Real Madrid are second favourites to secure his signing at 7-2 with Coral.
Barcelona remain third-favourites and Coral are again biggest, at 7-1, that Rooney will be playing with Messi and co next season.
Hills, who thought there was little truth in the rumours on Monday night, have had to backtrack considerably.
Their 1-3 that Rooney would be a Red Devil next season has been dropped and they now go 7-2 that he remains at Old Trafford.
If United are to cash in on Rooney then it seems likely that he will be sold during the January transfer window.
Paddy Power go 1-2 that he leaves and Victor Chandler are a top-priced 9-4 that he remains until at least the end of the season.
