England striker Wayne Rooney wants to leave Manchester United, manager Alex Ferguson said on Wednesday.
"We are as bemused as anyone can be, we can't quite understand why he would want to leave," Ferguson told a news conference.
The manager said Rooney would not play in Wednesday's Champions League match against Bursaspor because of an ankle injury.
A United press officer said that Rooney was stretchered off at the end of training on Tuesday.
