Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will walk away from the club if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, according to former player Dwight Yorke.
The Red Devils are currently seventh in the league and look increasingly unlikely to qualify for Europe's elite competition.
Yorke told reporters: "I think Wayne Rooney will have to sit and sort of look at the situation.
"I think if I was Rooney that's exactly what I would be doing because I don't want to be in a Man United team that has been deemed the worst Man United team - or we are not challenging and playing in Champions League football next year.
"He can't afford to do that. He is running out of time. He is at that certain age now when he needs Champions League football even more than before."
United take on Fulham on Sunday.
