The Daily Star says “other” United stars wants Rooney to leave.
No star names are provided to back up the headline. But the Daily Mail reports on Darren Fletcher:

Doubts were growing over whether Wayne Rooney would ever play for Manchester United again after the England striker told David Moyes in person that he could see no future for himself at Old Trafford, leading to suggestions of a backlash from his furious United team-mates.
Or as the trusty Star reported on Sunday:
He’s in. He’s out. He’s shaking it all about (allegedly)…
