Arsenal have reportedly been given
the green light to make a formal offer
for Man United striker Wayne Rooney
following tentative discussions with
representatives of the Man United
striker.
The 27 year old made a verbal request
to leave the Old Trafford side at the
tail end of the last campaign and was
subsequently left out of Sir Alex
Ferguson’s starting eleven for the
club’s last three Premier League
fixtures of 2012/13, leaving many to
ponder whether the former Everton
man had a future at Man United.
Arsene Wenger has publicly stated his
interest in Wayne Rooney and is ready
to offer the England man a role as
Arsenal’s central striking option, a
position the Man United man lost
following the arrival of Robin Van
Persie at the club last summer.
PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea are also
said to be keen on signing Rooney but
the Man United man is said to be
interested in the prospect of working
under Wenger and is open to a move
to London, more so than any
potential move overseas.
