David Moyes: "We are in no hurry to hold contract extension talks with Wayne Rooney"

David Moyes won’t be holding contract extension talks with Wayne Rooney anytime soon

Wayne Rooney‘s future at Old Trafford has repeatedly come in the spotlight, but Manchester United manager David Moyes has said that the club is in no hurry to begin contract extension talks with the player.

Rooney was reportedly looking for a way out of the club over the summer, having grown disillusioned with being played out of position, but he has returned to his talismanic best this term and appears to be enjoying his football again.

After Rooney scored a brace in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham, Moyes said: “When will we talk to him about the contract? I don’t really know.

“I think we are fine. We are just moving on from the summer. It will be done in good course.

“The appropriate people will talk when the time is right.”

Moyes added: “Wayne has had a nice weekend. He is playing well and scoring – when the moment has come he has taken it.

“You will see him score a lot of great goals. But that (his first) was more of a sniff at goal, a mix-up in the box, and he was on the end of it.

“His performances have been great and he’s worked incredibly hard. And he deserves the rewards he is getting.”
