Manchester United may be happy to sell Rooney

That's the view of the Daily Telegraph's Chief Football Correspondent Jason Burt, after his newspaper ran a story suggesting the United and England captain could sign to get a Chinese Super League club before their transfer deadline on February 28.

Rooney makes just eight Premier League starts this season, scoring two goals, and despite becoming the club's all-time record goalscorer, Burt believes this will be his last season at Old Trafford.

He believes Manchester United would be keen to promote him if a big offer is created within the next fortnight - although he's not convinced the player wants to proceed to China.

He told The Sunday Supplement: "If United believe he's surplus to requirements, that i think he or she is, if he doesn't go now then I think he goes in the summer, and i believe they will be happy for him to achieve that.

"They will likely not get yourself a bigger offer compared to what they are going to get from China so obviously they'd be pleased for him to go now."

He questioned whether or not the England captain will be happy to be a bit-part player at United for considerably longer.
