Wayne Rooney expected to sign new five-and-a-half-year deal with Manchester United
THE DAILY EXPRESS understand that Wayne Rooney is close to signing a new deal with Manchester United.
The England forward has been in negotiations regarding a new contract for some time now, but it is expected that he will announce his commitment to Old Trafford later today.
If reports are to be believed, the 28-year-old will put pen to paper on a fresh five-and-a-half year contract worth up to £300,000 a week.
His current deal, which paid up to £250,000 a week, was set to expire next year.
Rooney joined the Red Devils from Everton in 2004 and has racked up 208 goals and assisted 122 in that time.
