Football: Good Or Bad United Want To Keep Roo! Wayne Rooney Agrees A Record £70m Deal In The History Of English Football!

According to Sunday's papers, Wayne Rooney's long-term future at Manchester United has finally been resolved, for a record fee in the history of English football.

Rooney deal done – Wayne Rooney makes the front page of the Sun on Sunday this morning, a prospect that once would have made him tremble but now is cause for celebration as it is revealed he has agreed the most lucrative contract in the history of English football. The Sun confidently declare the new deal is worth no less than £70.2m and will go a long way to keeping Rooney at Old Trafford for the rest of his career.
Paper Round’s view: Securing Rooney on such a contract will be a big coup for manager David Moyes, who needs some good news stories to alleviate the gloom around Old Trafford at the moment. Whether Rooney’s questionable loyalty and inconsistent form means he deserves such a big deal is another matter entirely, but there’s no question this is a positive move for United.
