The reason why Rooney rejects £500,000-a-week deal from China

ROONEY - GIDIBASE

According to the UK Mirror, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has been offered a £100 million deal to leave Manchester United and move to China.

Shanghai Shenhua reportedly offered £27million to Manchester for Rooney and offer the striker a three-year deal worth £500,000-a-week.

Rooney still has two years left on his current deal at Old Trafford but the Chinese side are willing to spend big to make him the face of the Super League.

However, according to The Sunday People, Wayne Rooney has decided to stay at Manchester United, turning down two lucrative offers to play in the Chinese Super League.

The source reports that the England international and agent Paul Stretford have fielded several enquiries from Asian clubs, and turned down the chance to move east in favour of remaining at Old Trafford.

“Rooney is aiming to stay at the club until at least 2018, with an eye to breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time scoring record and adding to the silverware collection at United, who could miss out on a trophy for the third season running,” it stated.
