Coyle hopes Rooney stays at United

Bolton boss Owen Coyle feels Wayne Rooney and Manchester United are a "perfect fit" for one another and hopes the England striker does not leave Old Trafford. Rooney's United career appears to be over after he released a statement on Wednesday confirming his desire to move on. His manager Sir Alex Ferguson is meeting with club chief executive David Gill about the matter today and Coyle wants to see it resolved in a way that means Rooney stays put. "I truly hope that Wayne Rooney remains a Manchester United player," Coyle said. "I think we all accept that he is having an indifferent time in terms of his form, but it only takes one touch and finish for that confidence to go pumping through his veins again and for him to show his quality, because he is truly an outstanding player. "I think Wayne Rooney and Manchester United are a tremendous fit and you don't want the best players leaving the Premier League. If they can see it through, whatever the trouble is, and sort it out and he remains a Manchester United player, I will be delighted. "I think everyone in football will be, because they are an unbelievable club, one if not the biggest club in world football and you don't want to lose your best players - and he is certainly one of those. "Sir Alex has seen teams change over the years and built teams up again and hopefully they can sit and have a bit of dialogue and sort it out. For me, Wayne Rooney and Manchester United go hand-in-hand, and you want that to continue and you want them to be strong."
