Revealed: Wayne Rooney dealt surprising snub by Man Utd – with Red Devils’ all-time leading goalscorer given cold shoulder by INEOS & co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe

<p>Former England captain Rooney is the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/rooney-doesnt-feel-like-man-utd-greatest-goalscorer-record-253/15h3alk4ndqpw146fvmx1kiosc" target="_blank">Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer</a>, with the target found being found on 253 occasions across a 13-year stint in Manchester that delivered 559 appearances. During that iconic spell at the Theatre of Dreams, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-rooney-recognition-jones-unbelievable-talent/1qyuttmxjwcis1ee7lmiwzqlk3" target="_blank">16 trophies were collected</a> – including Premier League and Champions League titles.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rooney will forever be held in the highest regard by United supporters, but the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/wayne-rooney-manchester-united-ambassador-34108262 " target="_blank"><em>Daily Star</em></a> claims that he will never be offered an ambassadorial role – at least while the current ownership groups are in place. The 39-year-old has no time for such a position at present, as he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-stepping-stone-dream-job-former-man-utd-team-mate-managerial-return-old-trafford/blt84802238a82b9114" target="_blank">back in management at Championship side Plymouth</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It is, however, being claimed that he would not be asked to represent the club again – away from the field this time – if his professional schedule were to be cleared. United have already taken a similar stance with legendary former boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sir-alex-ferguson-axed-ineos-former-man-utd-boss-ambassador-contract-terminated-sir-jim-ratcliffe/blte782e70a6229b424" target="_blank">Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been removed from his £2 million-a-year ambassador role</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The likes of Peter Schmeichel, Nemanja Vidic, Wes Brown, Andy Cole, Denis Irwin and Bryan Robson are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/boss-man-utd-cristiano-jr-ronaldo-tipped-very-good-manager-record-breaking-boots-knowledge-next-generation/blt8f69c7b96a4c0b3c" target="_blank">all still associated with United in some capacity</a>, as they represent the club around the world, but Rooney is set to be surprisingly left off that list indefinitely despite all that he achieved for the Premier League heavyweights.</p>
