ROONEY FIT CAMP PLEDGE

with the Red Devils is not over and wants to leave Mourinho with a selection headache regardless of his manager’s spending spree.

With a £65million deal for Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata due to offset the loss of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the competition remains fierce for a spot in Mourinho’s starting XI.

And Rooney, 31, who played a bit-part in the Portuguese boss’s first campaign at the club, is going to get himself in tiptop condition ahead of the new campaign.

It was widely expected that the forward would be moving on after Mourinho successfully landed the Europa League, handing Rooney a few minutes from the substitutes’ bench in what was regarded as the player’s swansong.

But the striker still has two years left to run on a contract that is worth upwards of £25m.

And that figure has proved beyond Everton who would have to smash their wage structure to land him.

Heading back into Carrington ahead of his team-mates would also ensure that Rooney would be ready if a lucrative transfer to China appeared on the table.

Meanwhile, Mourinho will allow Adnan Januzaj to move on loan again.

The 22-year-old striker has been farmed out to Borussia Dortmund and Sunderland for the past two seasons – and he has been told that he can leave again this term, too.
