Manchester United chief executive David Gill will hold talks
with Wayne Rooney over extending his stay at the club.
United announced on Friday night they had agreed a new
"long-term" deal with defender Nemanja Vidic and striker Rooney is
now on Gill's radar.
Rooney - like Vidic - still has two years to run on his existing
contract but the Old Trafford hierarchy are eager to tie down the
striker.
The England international is resting following his country's
World Cup campaign and Gill says negotiations will begin when the
24-year-old forward returns from holiday.
Gill said: "The current intention is to meet with Wayne and his
advisers when we're back from tour and he's back from holiday with
a view to sorting out a new deal for him.
"It's clear from what he has said and what the club have said
that both parties are very keen to sort things out and secure his
long-term future at United.
"Given his desires and what he means to the club we're very
confident that can be achieved."
