Ronald Koeman cagey on Wayne Rooney-Everton transfer link

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has refused to be drawn on Wayne Rooney's future, saying he has already spoken too much about England's captain.
Sky sources reported on Thursday that Everton had a loan move for Rooney rebuffed during the January transfer window and that the player will consider a move to the Toffees in the summer.
"I don't speak any more about Rooney," said Koeman.

"I have had several questions about him, he's a United player. We will see what happens in the future."
The 31-year-old came through the Everton academy to make his debut in 2002 at the age of just 16, going on to score his first league goal with an iconic strike against Arsenal in just his 10th Premier League appearance for the Toffees.
