MANCHESTER, England -- Outgoing Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson insisted Wayne Rooney wont be sold even though the striker handed in a transfer request after becoming "frustrated" at being substituted in recent matches. The England striker was left out of Uniteds squad for Fergusons final home match in charge, against Swansea in the Premier League on Sunday, and watched the game from an executive box with his family. "I dont think Wayne Rooney was keen to play, simply because hes asked for a transfer," Ferguson said after the match. "He wants to think it through in his mind, which is a good idea. "We are not going to let him go but he is a little bit frustrated at being taken off once or twice in the last few weeks." Rooney came onto the pitch after the final whistle, shook Fergusons hands and joined in the celebrations during the presentation ceremony for Uniteds 13th Premier League title. With Ferguson retiring at the end of the season, Rooneys future is likely to be decided by new manager David Moyes, who will leave Everton to take charge of United on July 1. Moyes sold Rooney to United in 2004 and then launched successful legal action against him over allegations in the strikers autobiography that the Scot leaked details of a private conversation to the media about the factors behind the move from Everton. Its the second time Rooney has asked to quit United, having backed down from a transfer request in 2010 after negotiating a new and improved contract with the club. "Sometimes as a player you make bad choices and bad decisions, and I think thats what happened," Rooney said last year. Rooney is no longer first choice at United, slipping behind Robin van Persie in the list of strikers at Old Trafford this season and often playing in central midfield or having to settle for a place among the substitutes. He was dropped for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 match against Real Madrid -- arguably Uniteds biggest game of the season. Rooney has two years left on his contract at United.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson wont lose focus now that the fourth-ranked Tigers have achieved their goal of reaching the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. Hes aware any misstep the next two weeks could cost them a national championship.Clemson (10-1; No. 4 College Football Playoff) clinched its spot in the league title game in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 3 with a 35-13 win at Wake Forest last Saturday. The next step toward the national crown comes this weekend against revived rival South Carolina (6-5), which has already doubled its win total from last season with first-year coach Will Muschamp.Watson is primed for the final, playoff pushLast week, we were focusing on our second goal, that was to win the Atlantic Division, Watson said Monday. Our third goal is winning a state championship. Well just take to it this week, take it one day at a time, dont rush it and let everything take care of itself.Once the ACC championship comes, well take care of that, Watson said.That strategy means focusing on South Carolina, which shouldnt be too hard. A scrappy Gamecocks team in 2015 gave undefeated, No. 1-ranked Clemson all it could handle in 37-32 Tigers win.Tailback Wayne Gallman the Tigers cant let things come down to the wire this time, not with the playoffs at stake.We cant let go of what were trying to finish, he said.Watson, the junior Heisman Trophy contender, has faced South Carolinas experienced defense before, but is wary about the tweaks Muschamp has brought to the group.Those guys are going to have pride in what they do and prepare very well, Watson said. Muschamp is a great guy, great coach and theyre going to be very confident coming in here. They should be.The Tigers will be pretty confident, too, given Watsons history against the Gamecocks.As a freshman in 2014 he played with a torn ACL in his left knee, yet threw for two touchdoowns and ran for two more in 35-17 victory that ended South Carolinas unprecedented five-game win streak in the rivalry.dddddddddddd Last year, Watson ran for three scores and passed for a fourth in the Tigers win.Watson would like to finish things out with a win.Two weeks ago, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Watson was among several offensive playmakers headed to the NFL after this season. Watson has been coy about the pro talk, wanting to concentrate on his college career instead of where hell be next year.Ill just pray about it and well figure it out later on, he said.Muschamp said Watson is a great player, among the best in college football.Hes a guy thats up for the Heisman, and if they give it to him, theyre not making a mistake, Muschamp said. Hes really good. So hes a guy that weve got a lot of respect for.Clemson defensive end Christian Wilkins suspected the team would come out flat two weeks back at its lone stumble, a 43-42 home loss to Pitt . Wilkins sensed the energy was down the night before, something he felt returned before the Wake Forest win.We got exposed, Wilkins said. This week, were a bit more focused and getting the results we want.Swinney said his guys have been locked in all season long and doesnt expect that to change now. Checking off last weeks divisional goal -- the Tigers shared the division with No. 11 Louisville, but advanced to the title game because of their 42-36 win over the Cardinals last month -- has the Tigers hungry for more.Weve got opportunities these next couple of weeks to hit a couple of more goals, Swinney said.If the Tigers hit those benchmarks, they know theres a strong chance theyll land in the playoffs a second straight season.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
