Gary Neville admits that he has been left “surprised” by Manchester United over Wayne Rooney’s future.

Rooney was expected by many to leave United as early as January, with Chinese Super League clubs circling the forward.

Everton were then linked with an interest in the striker, as well as, laughably, Stoke.

The 31-year-old’s future remains uncertain ahead of the new season, which has left club legend Neville “surprised”.

“You don’t want to create voids for speculation around such big players,” he said.

“I am surprised it has not been dealt with.

“You don’t want that speculation to hang over a pre-season because every single press conference and media session will be clogged up with the issue of whether he is staying or going.”
