Wayne Rooney latest: Everton star wants to stay and will ditch MLS move if Sam Allardyce leaves

Wayne Rooney wants to stay at Everton and will ditch his proposed move to Major League Soccer if manager Sam Allardyce leaves the Toffees this summer.

According to reports, Rooney is only considering leaving his boyhood club after being told he does not feature in Allardyce’s future plans.

It has been widely claimed that England’s record goalscorer has agreed a deal in principle to join MLS side DC United, having grown frustrated over his backseat role at Goodison Park.
