Wayne Rooney has snubbed TWO approaches from Chinese Super League teams – because he wants to stay at Old Trafford.
The Manchester United skipper and long-time agent Paul Stretford have received several inquiries from mega-rich Asian clubs – and all have been politely rebuffed, reports the Sunday People.
United last week took the unusual step of denying a Chinese Super League team had made a £27million bid for their captain and Rooney’s camp say the star isn’t interested in leaving.
Rooney insists he’s fully committed to United and intends to stay until at least 2018 to fulfil his ambition of lifting a trophy this season and breaking Bobby Charlton’s all-time scoring record.
Sunday People Sport understands Jose Mourinho, widely tipped to takeover from Louis van Gaal, is also keen for Rooney to help him re-build a United side who have gone into decline since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
The United and England skipper is currently sidelined with a knee ligament injury that’s still being assessed by United’s medical staff and is expected to be out up to another five weeks.
