Everton boss Koeman would relish Rooney return

Ronald Koeman would like to see out-of-favour Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney back at Everton.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has described Wayne Rooney as a "great player" and would welcome the chance to bring him back to Goodison Park.

Rooney is currently out of favour at Manchester United with reports suggesting he has been told by Jose Mourinho that he can leave Old Trafford.

The England captain has been linked with a move to Los Angeles Galaxy to link up with fellow Merseysider Steven Gerrard but Koeman would relish the opportunity to bring him back to his boyhood club.
