RVP wants Rooney to stay

Robin van Persie wants unsettled Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney to continue his football at Old Trafford amid speculations the Englishman wants a move to Chelsea after nine years with the Premier League Champions.
RVP who joined Manchester United at the beginning of last season kept Rooney out of the United squad most of the time with his goal scoring form ending the campaign with 30 goals for the Red Devils.
The Dutchman told The Sun:
“Everyone wants Wayne to stay and deep down I think he feels the same. One of the reasons I joined Manchester United was to play with Wayne.
“I hope he stays. Not only is he a great goalscorer, he does so much work across the pitch. He hates to lose and that’s why you see him one minute pressing for goal, the next minute defending ferociously. He is an asset to any team.
“He will come good again. He is a strong lad.”
Wayne Rooney, Luis Nani and Ashley Young have been ruled out for Manchester United’s Community Shield game against Wigan Athletic.
