Rooney requests United exit

Rooney transfer request confirmed

  Outgoing Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson insisted Wayne Rooney won't be sold even though the forward handed in a transfer request after becoming ''frustrated'' at being substituted in recent matches.
The English star didn't dress for Ferguson's final home game as manager, a 2-1 win over Swansea in the Premier League on Sunday. Rooney watched the game from an executive box with his family.
''I don't think Wayne Rooney was keen to play, simply because he's asked for a transfer,'' Ferguson said after the match. ''He wants to think it through in his mind, which is a good
idea. We are not going to let him go but he is a little bit frustrated at being taken off once or twice in the last few weeks.''

Rooney came onto the field after the final whistle, shook Ferguson's hands and joined in the celebrations during the presentation ceremony for United's 13th Premier League title.
