Wayne Rooney who has just broken Sir Bobby Charlton's all time Manchester United Record of 249 goals . He broke it during the weekend match against Stoke City via a sublime free kick due to which United Secured an unwanted point, when they had to win making it 250. But let's bury the past and think of the present and future.
Will Rooney Remain at Manchester United?
There are mixed reviews relating to this. Few theories say that he only broke the record in order to think about his uncertain future. It could mean that He must have scored to leave a legacy behind. Meaning that breaking the Record was the final piece of him leaving United. Could this be true? .
There are many clubs circling around like hungry sharks for his signature and mainly them being the Chinese Super League. There are Rumors rumbling saying that Wazza has been offered a huge Pay Raise to leave United Behind and may be revive his career outside England.
As the Revival part comes into play. The Red Devils are being heavily linked with a mega money move for Antoine Griezmann. The French striker Is linked with a move in the Summer and been considered as a Wayne Rooney replacement, due to his erratic form. It would just be confirmed that Should he arrive it would mark the end and departure of Wayne Rooney as he will not get a chance.
Mourinho stated that he will not act as a barrier to stop Wayne from leaving. Based on his achievement China will not hesitate to submit a huge bid which would be a big pay day and a useful tool for future spending. The player does not want to leave. But as we known due to likes of Oscar and Tevez it's hard to turn down such a lucrative offer.
There could be a downside to this as the club will lose a loyal, faithful player and not to forget the club captain. The captain is not an issue because there is already Zaltan, Carrick, Mata, Herrera, Pogba, Valencia and De Gea as likely contenders should he leave.
The deal can also come as shocker by coming in January as only few days remain till deadline day.
As per the comparative study of Rooney and Griezmann this season the results are as follows. As per League this season

As we can see that the stats are more or less the same. But Griezmann has upper hand in age, Goals, Dribbles, Traits Shooting accuracy and Pace. Where Rooney has more experience, Pass accuracy.
But nowadays being more than stats believe in form and quality. But in the favour of Griezmann he is a far better player than Rooney of we exclude the stats. Rooney having more experience but is deemed slow for the modern pacy English League where Griezmann would perfectly fit. Rooney can still turn it around but the manager and board have given him chances which he has not excelled at recently with the few erratic performances and also which led to his downfall from the starting 11. The club should not take chances on him and take his record, accomplishments and loyalty as a factor for him to stay. For his own good He should move away from Manchester United to save his career, with China being the likely destination. He is a great player but his time in England is coming to an end. If he stays he will get limited chances or the bench treatment and also considering his age. He should retire as a player who still plays well and gets games rather the rotting on the bench. For his betterment he should leave United. But to conclude he will always be a Legend and has accomplished all he could during his time here and scoring 250 goals and being the top scorer is not a small thing or a joke, it takes lot of doing, but now his time is coming to an end. As for the record, they are made to be broken and will take at least a decade to be broken.
To conclude Rooney should leave United and should consider an offer from a club mostly China in order to play, save and end his career on a good note.
United should honor him by making a statue or declaring him legend or even name a stand after him. But he has to agree that being at United will only Worsen things up.
