Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is on the verge of a sensational exit from Old Trafford, which could be seen by next week.
The Mirror reported that the Red Devils will bank a £30m fee from an unnamed Chinese Super League outfit, while the Sun claims the England international will get an astonishing £1m per week, confirming him as the world’s highest-paid player.
Speculation sparked on Tuesday, when United manager Jose Mourinho refused to rule out a move for his skipper, who is injured for Europa League game vs. Saint-Etienne.
