Manchester United star Wayne Rooney facing summer of agony with £50m China deal on the table but has heart set on Everton return

The 31-year-old, whose international career was effectively ended when Gareth Southgate left him out of the England squad, is seriously considering two Chinese Super League offers worth £50m over two years. Even by Rooney’s standards, that is a life-changing sum.
