"Manchester United" captain Wayne Rooney this summer received an offer from China. This was mentioned by Luo Ning, the honorary president of Beijing "Guoan" club. The offer was made to the 31-year-old footballer at the end of this summer. However, the Englishman, who currently earns more than 300,000 pounds sterling per week under his current contract, was not tempted to play in Asia. "We did indeed try to acquire Rooney at the beginning of this season, but he informed us that he wants to stay at "Manchester United," Luo Ning told Beijing radio. "Rooney said he will play in the Premier League as long as his health allows. We even met with his agent." This season, the striker scored one goal and made four assists in ten English league matches."
