Down south

The Sun reports Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has been left out of the club’s pre-season tour of the United States and will complete a move back to Everton this week. Rooney will be allowed to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer with Everton paying him his current £250,000 a week wages.

Rooney could form a new-look strikeforce at Goodison with Olivier Giroud with the Sun also reporting he is set to join the Toffees from Arsenal in a £20m deal to replace Romelu Lukaku, who is set to rejoin Chelsea in a £90m deal.


The Independent writes that Manchester United will make a final push to bring Alvaro Morata to Old Trafford. Manager Jose Mourinho has become frustrated with the lack of new faces at the club but Real Madrid are holding out for their £72m asking price.
