Chris Wheeler from Mail Online has brought sensational reports to the Football Transfer Tavern today.
Wheeler suggests that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has still not opened talks with the Old Trafford club over a possible extension with concerns about the future of the side under David Moyes.
Manchester United have enduring something of a transitional year following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and new boss Moyes has taken the Premier League champions to seventh place in the league at the half-way stage.
United now face a struggle just to finish in the top four to secure Champions League football and this decline is forcing the The 28-year-old England international to reconsider his future at the club.
Rooney only 18 months left on his current deal with the Red Devils and he is yet to enter negotiations with the club despite reports suggesting that United are desperate to keep him.
Recent speculation indicated that David Moyes was ready to offer the former Everton man a bumper four-year extension on the same £250,000-a-week package he currently enjoys, which would be worth an incredible £52 million over the course of the deal.
The former Everton striker, who has found the net 11 times in his 24 games this season, will now wait until after the World Cup as he looks the options available to him and as he waits to see how United’s possible transfer targets improve their situation.
