Paul Scholes hints this star could leave United

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels Wayne Rooney could call quits on his Red Devils career following his struggles under Jose Mourinho this season.

The club's all-time goalscorer has been in-and-out of the starting lineup since September, and Scholes claims that he would not be surprised if the 31-year-old does leave Old Trafford in the summer.

"If it carries on going the way it is, I can't [see him staying for two more years]. Maybe it will be reassessed at the end of the season if he's in and out of the team," he told the Mail.

"I don't see him as a player who will accept that. He will want to be at a team where he's playing every week. "

Rooney has seen the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata occupy the wing positions this term, whilst his preferred centre-forward role has been satisfied by the ever-impressive Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The England international will play no part in his side's last-32 first leg tie against Saint-Etienne this evening as he is still carrying a minor muscular problem.
