Manchester United are prepared to drop the hammer on striker Wayne Rooney as they've given him the ultimatum to either submit an official request to be sold or for him to commit to the cause.
United new manager, David Moyes, has now made it clear Rooney will not play for the club again unless he either submits a formal transfer request or commits himself totally to the cause. Moyes is now beginning to get tough on Rooney as the transfer saga continues to drag on, after admitting he has been under fire ever since arriving to United last month as the legendary manager Alex Ferguson's successor.
"The transition from Everton to United has been difficult at times, as I have hard decisions to make," he says.
"Everton are a great club and I was proud to manage them. I can't deny Manchester United is on another level.
"Let's be honest, it would be a step up from just about any club in the world. The level of interest from the fans and the press is phenomenal."
Moyes insisted he had no need to speak to the striker when he was questioned on the matter following a Tuesday friendly in Stockholm, but he will give Rooney a few more days to consider his position, then will sit down and talk to him once more - probably early next week - to urge the player to make his position clear to both club and fans.
