Wayne Rooney has a chance to make a big money move to the Chinese Super League. He would be wise to make the move to the Far East.
The Chinese Super League wants Wayne Rooney to become the face of their growing football league. It’s time for the Manchester United star to move on to greener pastures in the Far East.
Wayne Rooney has been the face of Manchester United for what feels like decades. That’s going to make his split with the club painful no matter when it occurs. Now seems like an ideal time to make his graceful exit.
It’s clear that he isn’t the player he once was, and certainly the club isn’t as successful as it has been in years past. It’s been a horrid year for United under manager Louis van Gaal and most believe that big changes are coming at Old Trafford. One of those big changes should be the addition of a new first-choice centre forward.
That’s not to say that Rooney doesn’t have anything left. He still is a technically brilliant player who can be an effective Premier League players. That doesn’t mean, however, that he should hang on at United until he’s no longer able to perform at the minimum level required. He should go out while he still has the majority of his football ability left.
Making the move to China would shock a lot of football pundits and might even cause some Manchester United fans to shed a few tears. Here are the top five reasons he should ignore all that and make the big move to the Far East.
