Man. United Manager, David Moyes said: “Manchester United isn’t about Wayne Rooney,” Moyes said. “Manchester United is about the team, the club. We are talking about him now and rightly so but I won’t allow Wayne Rooney to become more important than the football club and the football team because that’s the heart of it.......I think he’s got a major role to play... We need to see how it works. Maybe in a year’s time we might have to look at something else... “He wants to be a goal-scorer,” he said adding that it was a “challenge” to work with Rooney “and see whether we can get him back to the level he was at.”
United’s new chief executive Ed Woodward, added that although Rooney had just two years left on his contract he is “not currently sitting down with any player on an extension... we are financially in a strong position and we can afford to buy stars” and would back the manager in any targets he wanted to pursue, no matter how expensive he said.
Moyes is, however, in the market to improve United’s midfield options – ideally adding a goal-scoring midfielder and a creative midfielder – but it is understood that the club are not planning to improve their offer of £12 million for Everton left-back Leighton Baines.
