Sir Alex Ferguson to meet David Gill over Wayne Rooney
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is eager to stop the Wayne Rooney issue from becoming a "saga".
Striker Rooney, 24, says he wants to leave the club, suggesting they lack the resources to match his ambition.
Ferguson is to meet chief executive David Gill at 1000 BST on Thursday to discuss United's next move.
But the Scot is keen to quash further Rooney talk and said: "What is really important is for us to put it to bed, we don't want it to become a saga."
Ferguson revealed in an emotional news conference on Tuesday that Rooney had told club officials on 14 August that he intended to leave Old Trafford.
