Wayne Rooney attracts Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is attracting interest from Arsenal. Gunners’ manager Arsene Wenger recently said in an interview that he will try and make a move to bring the United striker to the Emirates Stadium.

“Rooney could be an interesting player for everybody in the world, who would turn him down?” Wenger told Al Jazeera.

“David Moyes’ first challenge is to go in to Manchester and bridge the gap between him and Rooney. If that is feasible or not depends on his personality and if Rooney bears a grudge or not, we will see. It will be interesting to see how that will be handled.” he added.

Wayne Rooney missed the last three games of the recently concluded Premier League season after submitting a transfer request to the outgoing Sir Alex Ferguson.

Rooney’s position is being closely monitored by a lot of clubs including the likes of PSG, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Wenger also gave his opinion regarding former Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas’ chances in the Premier League.

Manchester United has turned a blind eye on Fabregas and Wenger thinks that his confidence has taken a beating by not playing regularly.

“I think at the moment he’s lacking the confidence of being a regular player,” added Wenger. “Recently, he has not been that.

“Cesc is such a passionate player, a player of such quality, that it must hurt him not to play in every single game. That’s what he misses. When you come in and out you never play with full confidence.” he claimed.
