Wayne Rooney's agent, Paul Stretford, has reportedly travelled to China to try to negotiate a deal to take the Manchester United forward to the Chinese Super League.
According to BBC Sport, Rooney was informed of interest from the league some time ago, and while "there are no guarantees of success," Stretford's trip to China is a "clear indication" that he'd be allowed to leave by manager Jose Mourinho.
The Chinese Super League's transfer window does not close until February 28, and if Rooney does not leave by then, a summer move "seems certain" to be on the cards.
