Barcelona plan move for Man Utd star

The Spanish champions could make a move for Rooney as an escape route from Old Trafford as the 24-year-old is struggling to cope with life in England.

A highly-placed Barca source told The Mirror: “Rooney’s position is worth monitoring if things become ­increasingly difficult for him in England.

“There is no move imminent but, if his problems increase, and he looks to get away from England, we’d certainly make our interest known.”
