Reds To Begin Rooney talks

David Gill says the club are ready to sit down with Wayne Rooney and his advisors to discuss a new contract for the striker.

Talking exclusively to MUTV, the Reds' chief executive said: "The current intention is to meet with Wayne and his advisors when we're back from tour and he's back from holiday with a view to sorting out a new deal for him.

"It's clear from what he has said and what the club have said that both parties are very keen to sort things out and secure his long-term future at United.

"Given his desires and what he means to the club we're very confident that can be achieved."
