Monaco to splash the cash on Man Utd and England star Wayne Rooney MONACO are ready to launch a mega-money move for Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney. The former Everton man has been at Old Trafford since 2004 after completing a £25.6million move from Goodison Park, but Monaco are confident they can lure the 28-year-old away from the Premier League with a long-term lucrative contract. Despite making almost 450 appearances for the Red Devils, Rooney has been linked with a move away on a number of occasions , with Jose Mourinho attempting to take him to Chelsea last summer. However, the striker ended up penning a deal worth £300,000-per-week with United, and has got the new campaign off to a flying start under Louis Van Gaal after scoring three goals in just six games. One year ago, we were discussing a top English player, I think one day that it will come, that it will happen Vadim Vasilyev Regardless of his current situation, reports in France claim that Monaco are confident that they can pull off a move for Rooney after allowing Radamel Falcao to join United on a season-long loan, and could ask for Rooney in a deal if Van Gaal wants to make the Colombians stay permanent. The French clubs vice president Vadim Vasilyev earlier admitted that Monaco are desperate to land Rooney after revealing that the club came close to a deal in the past, saying: One year ago, we were discussing one of the top players in the Premier League, a top English player. But it was on the table. This opportunity finally did not happen, but I think one day that it will come, that it will happen.
