4. Barcelona
In a poll in Spanish daily AS, Barcelona fans voted Rooney the striker they would most like to see join their club this summer. Given United’s rumoured interest in Cesc Fabregas, a dramatic swap deal could suit all parties but there has no concrete interest in Rooney from the Nou Camp and it’s doubtful where he would fit into to Tito Vilanova’s first team given this summer’s £50m signing of Neymar.
3. PSG
Like their Ligue 1 counterparts Monaco, PSG have the cash to pay Rooney’s transfer fee and wages and can also offer the former Everton man Champions League football next term. But there is surely not room for Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rooney at the Parc des Princes so any deal would depend on the Swede leaving this summer. United would be delighted to sell the striker to a club that cannot hurt them domestically but it seems doubtful Rooney would be willing to play in Ligue 1 – despite Thiago Silva being keen to see him arrive.
