Rooney will stay at Manchester United, predicts Eriksson

Former England and Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson would give Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new deal at Manchester United.

Sven-Goran Eriksson does not see Wayne Rooney yet departing Manchester United, despite interest from the Chinese Super League.

Rooney has been peripheral to Jose Mourinho's plans at Old Trafford and it seems that his future appears to be heading towards a move away from United.

The club captain and all-time leading goalscorer is no longer an automatic starter and was an unused substitute in last month's EFL Cup final victory over Southampton.

His circumstances have sparked speculation of a move to China, where Eriksson is in charge of second division side Shenzhen FC.
