Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has advised Mason Greenwood to leave the club following the latest snub by Erik ten Hag.

Rooney tells Greenwood to quit Man United

Rooney has now urged the ManUnited academy graduate to quit Old Trafford to reignite his football career.

While sympathising with the youngster's situation, Wazza believes it is imperative Greenwood returns to action to make up for lost time.

"It leaves Mason Greenwood in a position where he is stuck," Rooney told The Athletic.

"So for Mason, it’s a bad position to be in because I’m sure he just wants to play football. But for the club, its image and ensuring they make the right decisions, it’s almost a catch 22.

"I think the best thing for Mason now is to get out of the club and go and develop somewhere else," he added.
