United fear Roo may quit!!!

MANCHESTER UNITED fear Wayne Rooney will NOT sign a new contract.

The striker defied Alex Ferguson by claiming the boss was wrong to suggest an ankle injury had kept him out of action.

After England drew 0-0 with Montenegro on Tuesday, Rooney insisted: "I've had no problems with my ankle all season."

And when asked why Fergie had said he did, the hitman replied: "Don't know."

That is only fuelling concerns talks over a new five-year deal will fall flat.

Out-of-form Rooney has missed United's last two games following allegations he slept with a prostitute.

Roo's current contract finishes at the end of next season and United indicated six months ago they were keen to fast-track him to a long-term deal.

Yet there have been only two preliminary meetings and it is believed Rooney has asked for talks to be put on hold.

His advisors will look for a hefty pay rise to take him from £90,000 a week to around £150,000.

But Real Madrid want to sign him and can top any United offer while Spanish tax laws are also more favourable to high earners.
