Manchester United and England football team captain, who
recently became Manchester United's all time leading
goalscorer, is now set to quit Man U and move to China in a
£52m move that'll make him the highest earning football
player on earth with a whooping salary of £1million per week.
Jose Mourinho, Man U's manager, has left the striker out of
the starting line up in a lot of matches the last couple of
months, and admitted in a new interview that his captain
could leave the club before the Chinese league transfer
window closes next week Tuesday as Rooney ponders a £1m
per week salary offer.
Asked if Rooney will still be at Man U at the end of next week
Mourinho said:
“You have to ask him. I cannot guarantee that I’m
here next week, how can I guarantee that a player is
here next season? What I can guarantee is that if one
day Wayne leaves the club it is not because I want
him to leave the club. I would never push a legend of
this club to another destiny.
“You have to ask him if he sees himself staying in the
club for the rest of his career or sees himself moving.
It is not a question for me because I am happy to
have him. You have to ask him, not me. I was very
open with you in the answer. I don’t want him to
leave.”
Rooney has started just one game in the last 8 matches, has
18 months left on his current £250,000-a-week deal but will
not be given a new deal by Man U.
