Rooney likely to return to Everton this summer

TIL Desk Sports/ Manchester United skipper Wayne Rooney is likely to make a return to his boyhood club Everton this summer. According to a report sources close to both Everton and Manchester United feel at this point the deal is “likely to happen”, completing what would be a romantic return to his boyhood team in what could be a free transfer.

The England captain had left the Goodison Park club in 2004 as an 18-year old and it is now a big time probability that he might make a dream return to his boyhood club. Earlier, West Ham United were the latest club to be linked to Rooney, but the out-of-favour striker brushed aside the rumours and on record said that he would play for no other English team except the Toffees.

Rooney has been linked with a move to China, with his agent, Paul Stretford, understood to have been in China this week speaking to the interested clubs. However, the England skipper insisted that he is not interested in a move from United and is looking forward to “play a full part” in the rest of the Premier League club’s season. Since then it has been learnt that a prospective offer from Everton was also greatly playing on Rooney’s mind.
