Wayne Rooney to decide on Manchester Utd future with David Moyes as Chelsea AND Arsenal target striker
If an agreement cannot be reached next week, Jose Mourinho
and Arsene Wenger would love to offer the 27-year-old an exit route from
Old Trafford
Time to decide: Rooney will hold talks with David Moyes this
week
PA
Wayne Rooney will meet David Moyes to decide his
Manchester United future next week, with both Chelsea and Arsenal
ready to offer him a way out.
Rooney is still hurt and angered by
former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson’s public declarations that the
England star asked for a transfer at the end of last season. The striker
vehemently refutes the claim. He wants new United boss Moyes to tell
him that the situation was caused by a misunderstanding, and that he is
still wanted at Old Trafford.
If that agreement fails to
materialise – as seems likely – Rooney will accept that he will leave the
champions. It is understood that Fergie recommended this summer is
the best time to sell. The player has two years left on his current deal
and turns 28 in October, and his asking price will dramatically reduce
in 12 months’ time. Blue thinking: How Wayne Rooney would look in a Chelsea

Rooney and his
representatives cannot speak with other clubs unless United
announce he is available for transfer, but Jose Mourinho and Arsene
Wenger would love to have him aboard.
It is understood that Rooney
is keen to stay in England. He would not close the door on the
possibility of moves to French clubs Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco, but
prefers the option of linking up with Mourinho at Stamford Bridge and
the prospect of playing with Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar.
Yet
the suspicion is that United would prefer not to sell to a side they
consider direct title rivals, and that the Old
Trafford outfit would be keener to do business with Arsenal.
