Arsene Wenger refuses to rule out Wayne Rooney move

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has refused to rule out a summer move for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The England international is expected to leave Old Trafford having handed in a recent transfer request which has resulted in him being booed by his own supporters during their title celebrations.

The 27-year-old has since been linked with a number of club, including the Gunners, but Wenger is yet to deny trying to bring the forward to the Emirates Stadium.

"Look, I'm not in a position today to speak about any transfer targets," Wenger told The Mirror.

"What I am focused on is the short term and after the Newcastle game I give you answer about these questions."

When pressed as to whether he could ever see such a major player leaved Old Trafford for Arsenal, Wenger added: "I just told you!"
