Koeman: Everton hoping for Rooney move

Ronald Koeman has reiterated he would love to bring out-of-favour Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney back to Everton.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has again welcomed speculation that his club could sign Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney and hopes a move will happen.

Koeman had revealed he would grasp any opportunity to bring in Rooney in his Friday pre-match news conference and did so again following his team's 2-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday.

United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed the England skipper will be going nowhere any time soon and while Everton will respect the Old Trafford club's stance, the Dutchman remains keen on a transfer if the opportunity arises.
