No guns blazing. No bullish 'no man is bigger than the club' rhetoric. Just confusion. Almost sadness. This, if Ferguson is to be believed, is all being driven by Rooney and the manager wouldn't - and said he couldn't - answer any questions on Rooney's motivation

From the BBC's Dan Roan on Twitter: "Gill talked to his agent..intimated wouldn't be signing and wanted away I was shocked..terribly disapponting."

Rooney told David Gill shortly after the World Cup that he wanted to leave, according to Ferguson, who was disappointed. Ferguson said he asked Rooney to be professional and respect the club. An offer was always there but without a figure on it. It would be a contract that 'was difficult to better elsewhere.'

Seems very odd but this means it was not provoked by the recent lack of appearances. In fact we seem to have the cause and effect the wrong way around; Maybe his lack of form and the dropping from the squad was started by his desire to leave...
