All the latest Man Utd transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Friday, May 26.

The Daily Mirror say Wayne Rooney has at least two £50m offers from China to consider as his Manchester United career draws to a close, but has his heart set on a return to former club Everton.

Apparently, Rooney has discussed the prospect of a move to the Chinese Super League with his family, but a last-minute approach from Everton could persuade him to stay.

Rooney said on Thursday that he has "more or less" decided his future.

Jose Mourinho wants to sign up to four top players this summer, according to The Times, in a transfer spree likely to exceed £200m, with Antoine Griezmann top of the list of targets.
