Koeman Would Like To Sign Wayne Rooney

Everton boss Ronald Koeman admits he would be interested in signing Wayne Rooney from Manchester United.

Rooney left Everton for Old Trafford in 2004 but is currently out of favour under United boss Jose Mourinho, who has been leaving him on the bench.

The 31-year-old striker has also dropped out of England caretaker coach Gareth Southgate's preferred starting XI.

But Koeman says Rooney still has a lot to offer and would like to see him back in an Everton shirt.

"He's a great player, he's still not finished his career," he said. "I don't know how his situation is. That's not my problem. Of course, if there is a possibility that Rooney is an option for Everton, I'm very pleased."
