3. David Moyes

Alex Ferguson and Wayne Rooney shared an affectionate relationship at the club but that seemed to have broken down at the latter end of the season. Sir Alex even declared that Rooney had requested a transfer, a claim that Rooney still denies.

The incoming manager is not a particularly good friend of his as the former Everton manager had sued Rooney for defamation for comments he made in his autobiography. Rooney later personally apologised to Moyes.

It was a gesture that Moyes appreciated and praised publically and hence there should be no unresolved issues. Rooney can begin a fresh campaign under him. There is no reason why he can’t impress the new boss and earn a regular place in the side.
