Koeman Cagey On Rooney

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has refused to be drawn on Wayne Rooney's future, saying he has already spoken too much about England's captain.

Sky sources reported on Thursday that Everton had a loan move for Rooney rebuffed during the January transfer window and that the player will consider a move to the Toffees in the summer.

"I don't speak any more about Rooney," said Koeman.

"I have had several questions about him, he's a United player. We will see what happens in the future."

The 31-year-old came through the Everton academy to make his debut in 2002 at the age of just 16, going on to score his first league goal with an iconic strike against Arsenal in just his 10th Premier League appearance for the Toffees.

A return to Goodison Park for Manchester United's captain has been mentioned by David Moyes and Phil Jagielka in the past, while Koeman admitted to Sky Sports News HQ on Tuesday that a Rooney return would be "welcome".

Also on Friday, former Barca star Koeman would not be drawn on Luis Enrique's announcement he will leave the Spanish giants at the end of the season.

Asked if he is focused on his Everton 'project', Koeman added: "Of course. Every word from my side about Barcelona is too much.

"I don't speak about Barcelona."\
