Moyes came out after the Newcastle game and said that was "nonsense" and I believe him, but those stories are not going to just go away.
With Rooney, United also still need to sort out his contract, which ends in the summer of 2015.
I am sure they will give him a new deal because, with the form he is in, there is no way they are going to let him leave - but they need to send out a message that their best two players are happy and staying at the club.
Clearly Moyes needs both of them, especially with his lack of creativity in midfield.
Alan Shearer made a fantastic point on Match of the Day on Saturday night when he pointed out how, with Rooney suspended against Newcastle, Van Persie had to drop deep to get on the ball.
When he did that, Van Persie played a fantastic long diagonal ball to set up Javier Hernandez for a shot but what should be happening is that somebody should be playing that pass to Van Persie.
The bottom line is that there is not enough quality in United's midfield to hit that sort of ball.
In this sense, Roy Hodgson's England have not done badly out of the draw. True, there is the trip to Manaus, right up in the north, for the opening game with Italy.
With its tropical humidity, it is the venue that Hodgson had specifically wanted to avoid. But the fact that the visit to Manaus is for the first game in theory may make preparations easier. And one trip to Manaus is probably a price worth paying in return for the location of England's two remaining group games - Sao Paulo, where they take on Uruguay, and Belo Horizonte, where Costa Rica will provide the opposition.
These are two cities in the south east, where the weather will be much milder. Italy, meanwhile, play their other group matches in the sweltering north-eastern heat of Recife and Natal, with both currently set for controversial 13:00 kick-offs (local time).
England, then, have undoubtedly come out of the draw better than the Italians - especially bearing in mind that England's plan has been to base themselves in Rio de Janeiro.
Had they received Italy's fixtures then this would have made little sense - all of Italy's matches are far away from Brazil's glamorous former capital. But in England's case Rio makes perfect sense - it is a 45-minute flight from both Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte.
This is also good news for the fans. True, the Manaus trip will cost money. Plane fares from Rio are likely to be very steep. For a wealthy supporter who wishes to combine the World Cup with some tourism in the Amazon rain forest, this is perfect. But for those unable or unwilling to shell out such sums, it makes more sense to stay in the south east.
Here, the advantage is that Rio, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte are all so close that air travel is not the only option.
During the Confederations Cup, for example, I was unable to find an acceptable air fare to get to Belo Horizonte. Brazil were playing their semi-final against Uruguay there, and prices had gone through the roof.
I took the overnight bus (a six-hour trip), stayed for the game, did my work and then took the bus back. Bus travel is a cheap and available option for moving between all of the three major cities of the south east.
England fans will also enjoy the nightlife options in both Sao Paulo, with its many restaurants, and Belo Horizonte, known for its bar culture. For the culturally minded, Belo Horizonte is also within easy distance of several historical towns.
Combined with the beaches of Rio, there is plenty on offer for a wonderful World Cup experience - made all the better, of course, if England can win what would seem to be the crucial second game against Uruguay.
Can the England defence cope with the opposing strike force of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani? Have the rest of the Uruguayan team grown too old together?
Fascinating questions, which will be debated over a bottle of wine in a Sao Paulo restaurant, with a cold beer in a Belo Horizonte bar, or nursing a caipirinha beside the Copacabana beach.
Imagine that happening in the World Cup - a heart-warming thought to hold over the next seven months.
Football is never far away from its next scandal and allegations of match-fixing certainly dent the reputation of the beautiful game. But is it right to call the recent claims of wrongdoing "match-fixing"?
Sam Sodje, a former Portsmouth player, was filmed by an undercover reporter claiming he could arrange for footballers to be booked for a £30,000 fee and a sending-off for £50,000 to £70,000 in order to facilitate betting fraudsters. Six people have been arrested, including DJ Campbell, the Blackburn Rovers striker.
Emotive terms like "plague" and "cancer" have been used in the media and there have been calls for fixers to be banned for life, but why has no-one asked whether it is actually possible to make substantial amounts of money by betting on yellow and red cards?
The answer - and the awkward truth - is that it is impossible. No matter which expert is asked, they all say the same.
While there is a window of opportunity to make some financial gain on the goals-related market if a fixer has information about a red card being awarded, the world's leading anti-corruption officer, Chris Eaton, claims it is the sort of "small-fry" wager that would not interest crime syndicates.
To explode the myth that massive amounts of money are being made by people betting on yellow and red cards, let's examine in detail how the regulated bookmakers in the United Kingdom and the licensed and unlicensed Asian bookmakers operate.
In the UK, it is possible to bet on an individual player being cautioned during a match, but gamblers are restricted to small stakes for fear that such betting opportunities can be manipulated.
Every regulated bookmaker has software that will alert staff to a suspicious betting pattern.
Graham Sharpe, who has worked for bookmakers William Hill for 42 years, says: "The average bet on a yellow-card market would not even be £100. It's fivers and tenners.
"So if we saw one bet above the average wager, we'd raise an eyebrow. If we saw two, we'd begin to investigate. Any more than that and we'd have to shut the market."
For Tuesday's Champions League match between Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk, a game United won 1-0, bookmakers Victor Chandler said they took 36 bets on the "to receive a yellow card" market, only 0.75% of their pre-game turnover.
As for Sky Bet, who have a maximum payout of £1,000 on yellow cards, they reported insignificant amounts. Unibet and 888Sport were the only other firms to offer the wager.
But what of the Asian industry where we are told much of the corruption in football takes place?
The gambling dens in that part of the world have a mysterious reputation. A few years ago, the punter wanting to make a bet in the streets of Jakarta or Hanoi would need a password to access the bookies who had set up in the backroom of a karaoke bar.
But this subversive glamour is the past. The hideouts and holes have been replaced by gleaming office blocks, 24-hour call centres and websites, so that gamblers can get their bet on.
Gambling in Asia has gone corporate.
Anti-corruption investigators call this new-look industry "the grey market" because they are not quite sure how it works. As for match-fixers, they use it because they are able to stake unrestrained amounts in a faceless manner. But can they make a killing by betting on yellow or red cards?
"No chance," says Joe Saumarez Smith, a sports betting consultant who has been advising Asian operations for 21 years. "You cannot bet on a yellow card being given to an individual player or a red card being given to an individual player in Asia. Bookies don't offer odds.
"I would say that 90% of money wagered is on Asian handicaps - a goals-related market - but the rest is on the match odds and over/under a certain amount of goals.
"I can't think of any way to make money from the information about a yellow card."
A red card could work in favour of corruptors but only if they knew exactly when a player would be dismissed.
With that inside information, a fixer would be able to "trade" the goal markets in Asia much like someone could a stock price if they had company secrets. The likelihood of goals in a game increases after a sending-off, so if bets are placed just before a card is issued - timing is crucial - the change in odds gives the fixer a margin for profit.
layman to understand, so let's put in another way. If someone buys 10 loaves of bread for £1 each just before a chronic food shortage, then sells one back for £10, the money they make by offloading the rest is pure profit.
Eaton, the former head of security at Fifa who is trying to set up a global fixing taskforce, argues inaccurate revelations are a hindrance to curbing the problem of betting corruption in football because it propagates falsehoods.
"It's misinformation," he says. "Corrupt attitudes have been uncovered, no more. I do think this sort of media story is harmful. People talk about spot betting as if it's a huge conspiracy but this is just wrong. It's inconsequential in terms of quantum.
"The quantum in football is all on a significant result or the number of goals scored. We're talking about significant field outcomes here, not yellow cards, red cards to satisfy criminal organisations.
"People will talk about 'trading' the odds for a red card, but I think that's small fry. It's becoming a common lexicon and by doing that we're confusing the issue by talking about these trendy, boutique bets. They mean almost nothing."
Eaton, whose current role is as sports integrity director at the International Centre for Sports Security, says it is possible that such smaller "fixes" could be used as a test.
"The fixers want to know how trustworthy these guys are so they give them something simple to do," he says. "It is someone proving they have other people under their control."
In that regard, the recent revelations are similar to the infamous News of the World sting that saw three Pakistan cricketers convicted of deliberately bowling no-balls in a Test match at Lord's in 2010.
Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir went to prison for conspiracy to cheat at gambling, defined under the Gambling Act of 2005.
But just like the yellow cards in football, there is no opportunity to make significant amounts of money by betting on a no-ball, legal or illegal.
Yasin Patel, the lawyer who defended Butt, says sport, the legal profession and the courts must get to grips with the nuances of legal and illegal betting if corruption is to be checked.
"Footballers' reputations and livelihoods are at stake here," he says. "People cannot be arrested or charged under match-fixing just because a newspaper headline screams the term. Everyone needs to be smarter and speak to the experts. We all want sport to be clean but we have to clean it up using the laws of the country in the right manner."
It is also unlikely that a footballer could be charged with conspiring to defraud when it comes to fixing yellow or red cards because the sums involved are minimal.
The National Crime Agency could instead look to the new bribery act to take any case to court, which does not, according to Patel, fall under the criteria of corruption in sport.
So that is neither match-fixing nor spot-fixing. Nor is it quite the spicy plot line some would have us believe. For the good of the game and for attempting to stop the scourge, that has to be made clear.

The Spanish government has vowed to block plans by parties in Catalonia to hold a referendum on independence on 9 November of next year.
"The poll will not be held," Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon told journalists moments after Catalonia's President, Artur Mas, announced a deal.
Mr Mas said agreement had been reached on the date and on two questions.
Voters would be asked if they wanted Catalonia to be a state and if they wanted it to be an independent state.
Mr Mas announced that an agreement had been reached in principle and had still to be approved formally by the parties internally.
Both Spain's ruling conservatives, the Popular Party of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, and the Socialist opposition have long made clear they oppose a referendum.
Catalonia is one of Spain's most developed regions, with a population of 7.5 million.
It already has a wide degree of autonomy but the recent economic crisis has fuelled Catalan nationalism.
In September supporters of independence formed a human chain across the region.
Mr Mas has previously said that if Madrid blocks a referendum he will turn regional elections - due in 2016 - into a vote on independence.
Opinion polls suggest Catalans are evenly split over independence.
The EU and Nato have warned that Catalonia would be excluded if it broke away from Spain.
The Royal Bank of Scotland has been fined $100m (£61m, 73m euros) by US regulators for violating US sanctions against Iran, Sudan, Burma, and Cuba.
The settlement follows from a 2010 internal investigation by RBS into its historical US dollar payment processes and controls.
The violations took place between 2005-09, the US Treasury said.
Meanwhile, RBS said it "acknowledges and deeply regrets these failings", in a statement.
RBS found that bank procedures removed location information on payments made to US financial institutions from countries like Iran and Cuba.
'Flouting our law'
Bank procedures "instructed employees to list the actual name of the Iranian financial institution rather than the Bank Identifier Code in the beneficiary bank field of the payment instructions," according to regulators.
This prevented information about the banks from being included in cover letters and forms sent to US clearing banks.
Those institutions then processed the payments, in violation of US sanctions.
Furthermore, according to the New York Division of Financial Services, RBS employees in the UK "received written instructions containing a step-by-step guide on how to create and route U.S. dollar payment messages involving sanctioned entities through the United States to avoid detection".
In total, more than 3,500 transactions, totalling approximately $523m, were routed through New York banks in violation of US sanctions.
The bank entered into agreements with the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and New York State Department of Financial Services.
"We will continue to take aggressive action against those who would flout our law," said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S Cohen.
As part of its investigation, RBS bulked up its compliance workforce by 730 employees since 2011, bringing the total worldwide to 1,700.
It also instituted compulsory compliance training for all of its 120,300 employees.
Wednesday's settlement follows others by international banks in recent years.
Standard Chartered paid a total of $674m to US regulators in 2012 for violating sanctions against Iran.
And HSBC paid a record $1.9bn for laundering money for "drug kingpins and rogue nations".
Barcelona will make a decision in January on whether to expand their Nou Camp stadium or move to a new location.
The Spanish club want to increase the capacity of Europe's largest football stadium from 99,354 to 105,000, and build a roof to cover the ground.
Barcelona's board of directors will vote on the plan early in the new year.
Board spokesman Toni Freixa said: "We've made advances, we have all the information and we're in a position to make a decision."
The iconic Nou Camp has been the home of Barcelona since 1957 and has hosted two European Cup finals - in 1989 and 1999 - the World Cup in 1982 and the Olympic football tournament in 1992.
Friexa said while one option would see the construction of a new stadium on ground currently belonging to the University of Barcelona, the other project involved a "profound remodelling" of the existing stadium.
He added: "Both would have a capacity of 105,000 spectators, the stadium would be covered.
"It needs to be viable from a technical perspective, urbanist and economic. We would never submit a project that would endanger the sustainability of the club."
The US and UK have suspended all "non-lethal" support for rebels in northern Syria, but not humanitarian aid.
A US spokesman said it was concerned about reports that Islamist rebels had seized bases belonging to the Western-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA).
Fighters from the Islamic Front, a new alliance of rebel groups, ousted FSA-aligned fighters from the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey last week.
The non-lethal aid includes medicine, vehicles and communications equipment.
The US and European countries have been reluctant to supply weapons and ammunition directly to rebel groups in Syria because of concerns that they might end up in the possession of jihadists affiliated to al-Qaeda.
However, they have reportedly facilitated secret arms shipments.
'Investigation'
White House spokesman Josh Earnest confirmed the US had "suspended all further deliveries of non-lethal assistance into northern Syria" as a result of events at Bab al-Hawa.
But he stressed that humanitarian aid was not affected by the decision.
UK Foreign Office Minister Hugh Robertson told the BBC that "as far as we know at the moment" no British equipment had passed into the hands of Islamist militants, but he added: "It does make sense to suspend that aid until we know exactly what's happened."
The FSA said the suspension was a mistake. "We hope our friends will rethink and wait for a few days when things will be clearer," spokesman Louay Meqdad was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
Last month, seven leading rebel groups - the Ahrar al-Sham, Jaysh al-Islam, Suqour al-Sham, Liwa al-Tawhid, Liwa al-Haqq, Ansar al-Sham and the Kurdish Islamic Front - declared that they were forming the largest alliance yet in the 33-month conflict, with an estimated 45,000 fighters.
They said the new Islamic Front was an "independent political, military and social formation" that aimed to topple President Bashar al-Assad's government and build an Islamic state.
The front does not include al-Qaeda affiliates like the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) and the al-Nusra Front, but its charter welcomes "muhajirin", or foreign fighters, as "brothers who supported us in jihad", and suggests it is willing to co-operate with them.
Last week, the Islamic Front announced that it had withdrawn from the command of the FSA's Supreme Military Council (SMC), which is aligned to the opposition National Coalition.
Four days later, its fighters drove out SMC-aligned forces out of their bases and warehouses at Bab al-Hawa, in the north-western province of Idlib, which contained weapons and equipment that had been brought into Syria through Turkey.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group, said dozens of anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank rockets were taken.
Mr Meqdad said the Islamic Front had raised its flag in place of the SMC's after "asking" its personnel to leave. But he also stressed: "We believe that those brigades are our brothers, that they know that we are not the enemy."
On Wednesday, the US embassy spokesman told the Reuters news agency that the situation at Bab al-Hawa was being investigated to "inventory the status of US equipment and supplies provided to the SMC".
Humanitarian assistance by the US would not be affected because it was distributed through international and non-governmental organisations, the spokesman added.
Officials in Washington told the Associated Press that deliveries of non-lethal aid to the south of Syria via Jordan would also continue.
The US government has committed to provide $250m (£152m) in non-lethal assistance to the National Coalition, local opposition councils and the SMC. Rebel brigades have been provided with food rations, medical supplies, communications equipment and vehicles.
The UK is providing more than £20m in non-lethal support, including 4x4 vehicles, body armour, generators, communications equipment, water purification kits and equipment to protect against chemical weapons.
The rebel infighting comes as government forces make advances.
In the past two months, several towns around the capital Damascus and the second city of Aleppo have been recaptured by soldiers backed by pro-government militiamen, members of the Lebanese Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah and Iranian Revolutionary Guards, activists say.
An offensive is also under way in the Qalamoun mountains, which run along the border with Lebanon. On Tuesday, troops started moving towards the town of Yabrud, the last rebel stronghold in the area.
