MANCHESTER United and Wayne Rooney have described as "complete nonsense" a newspaper report that the striker is set to leave the Premier League champion.
The Independent reported the "Christmas bust-up between Rooney and Ferguson has run so deep that it could lead to the player's departure as early as the current transfer window".
United and Rooney responded swiftly by issuing a joint denial late on Friday night.
"Any suggestion that Manchester United and Wayne Rooney are to part company is complete nonsense," the club and the player said in a statement. "We have not seen the detail (of the report) but can assure all United fans the manager and the club are committed to Wayne Rooney and Wayne is committed to the manager and the club."
Rooney was dropped for last Saturday's 2-3 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers.
