Ex Chelsea and Man Utd legend Ray Wilkins urges Wayne Rooney to rethink Old Trafford exit
MANCHESTER UNITED forward Wayne Rooney has been urged to stay at Old Trafford if he wants to give himself a better chance of winning trophies.
Rooney has become increasingly unsettled at Old Trafford in recent weeks and it is believed he will submit a formal transfer request.
Chelsea appears a likely destination for the 27-year-old this summer, however saw their latest £25m bid for him rejected.
Rooney has also been unimpressed by David Moyes's new comments saying that effectively he could play as an understudy to Robin van Persie.
Wilkins, who played for both clubs and also coached Chelsea believes that competition for places is healthy at a club.
"It shouldn't end this way, it's getting horrible," Wilkins told talkSPORT.
"Once you leave Manchester United there's only one way you're going.
"Man United are in the top three biggest clubs on the planet, therefore they will always buy and buy and buy because they always want to be successful.
"If you want to win things then there's no better club to be at than Manchester United."
