Wayne Rooney, the influential striker and captain of Manchester United has been one of the stars for his side throughout his career. He has been serving the Red Devils with absolute grit and has led his side to a number of glorious accolades including five Premier League titles and one Champions League. He is also the highest scorer for Manchester United with 253 goals in 559 appearances so far.
However, the England National team captain has been far from his best in the last couple of seasons and has been shifted to a more central role in the midfield, where he has failed to impress. With the English legend slowly losing his composure, it might not be a surprise if the Red Devils’ team management looks to offload the most prolific scorer in their history to make way for some young faces to replace him in the next season.
With a slim chance of Rooney leaving Manchester United to make a move towards either the Chinese Super League or Major League Soccer in America, a number of Premier League clubs might look to bag him for the next season as well. One of them, Stoke City, are reportedly on their way to making an offer of a staggering £45 million to rope in the Manchester United legend this summer.
Stoke City had a rather forgettable season and are looking to make amends for their lost chances in the new one. The club coach Mark Hughes has been handed one more year in charge at the bet365 Stadium, and he will look to bring in players who can turn the tide in their favour in the forthcoming season.
Stoke City spent their highest amount on a transfer when they signed Giannelli Imbula during the last transfer window, the amount being £18.3 million. However, this time around, the Potters look all set to break the bank to get the England international into the team to bolster their attack in the summer transfer window, with some financial help from their sponsor bet365.
Speculations are rife that Wayne Rooney, who is almost set for a move out of England, might be tempted by the lucrative offer made by the Potters to stay back in the English Premier League. It might also bolster his chances of making a mark in the Premier League, thus making it difficult for the selectors to write him off for the 2018 World Cup squad for the English national side.
