News reaches me from the bowels of Old Trafford and the Bernabeu that Jose Mourinho wants Rooney to join him, but he has a problem.
How can he keep good friends with Fergie and Utd if he takes the boy for what would probably be a knockdown £25m in January? Especially as Jose wants to be the next boss at Utd when Fergie retires..
How to find a solution to satisfy everyone? Easy, if your name is Mourinho. You do Fergie and Utd a favour!
You swop Rooney for Kaka and also give United £10m or the chance to take Diarra too.
That way Utd and Fergie get a world-class name to quell the fans' anger and Jose is a hero too for his fair treatment in effectively valuing Rooney at £65m.
The only hitch they would all have to settle? Persuading Kaka that United were still a side capable of winning the biggest honours...and not just a feeder club for Madrid! And persuading Roon to go to Madrid rather than Chelsea...
