Wayne Rooney left looking at China or USA move after Everton cool interest in bringing Man United forward back to Goodison Park
England star may look to either China or the US as a return to Goodison Park appears to be on the cards
EVERTON’S interest in Wayne Rooney has cooled.
And Ronald Koeman’s decision now leaves the Manchester United star scrambling for a move to either China or the USA.
Roo maintains the only Premier League clubs he would play for are the Toffees, where he began his career, or United.
Yet all hope of a return to Merseyside now looks to have been dashed.
Boss Koeman revealed earlier in the season Wazza, 31, would be welcome back.
But it is believed the Dutchman has reservations over the amount of money it would cost to sign him.
Koeman will also struggle to find a place for him in his young, vibrant side.
However, Rooney is attracting interest in China from Gus Poyet’s Shanghai Shenhua.
And his ex-England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson would also like to take him — but his side Shenzhen FC are in the Chinese second division.

LA Galaxy remain keen in bringing him to MLS but it is understood United and Rooney are struggling to agree a deal to release him from his Old Trafford contract.
Rooney is entitled to full compensation if United decide to terminate it.
However, he has told boss Jose Mourinho he would prefer to move to get more game time and will accept less than the £28.8m he is owed.
It is understood an offer of around £21m has been made but there remains a disagreement over who will foot the tax bill.
