2. Wayne Rooney
This summer wasn’t the first time that the England man faced a storm concerning his future, though it was the first time where it genuinely looked as though he would actually move on.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint Germain were all set to pounce, before the Blues landed Samuel Eto’o and PSG bagged Cavani. Arsenal got Mesut Ozil, but no striker, and reports are suggesting that Arsene Wenger will return with another £30m bid for him in January.
However, with the England man’s form returning, and news that he is set to be offered a fresh extension at Old Trafford could put any potential move on hold.
It does appear slightly unlikely that Rooney will actually move in January, but that won’t be for the want of try and there is sure to be plenty of speculation surrounding his future. David Moyes will certainly want to keep hold of him, but if things don’t go well for the 28-year-old and he still finds himself behind in the pecking order then he will be looking to garner as much interest and move on as soon as the opportunity arises.
