<!--Article Start--> <h3 style="text-align: justify"> . <strong>Misfiring Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is a wanted man. The Chinese Super League is looking for a player to be the face of football in the country, and have reportedly approached Wayne Rooney to play that role.</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Wayne Rooney has just recently hit the big 30 and there's already talk of the player being past his prime. It hasn't helped that he's had a woeful run of form this season, scoring only two goals in the Premier League and looking like a shadow of the player that would run at defences and score for fun.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Though he still has more than 3 years to run on his very lucrative, 300,000-pound-a-week Manchester United contract, the Chinese Super League are desperate to sign him to add some sheen to their football league and a big money contract is being discussed with the English forward, according to<a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/6760174/Chinese-Super-League-want-Manchester-Uniteds-Wayne-Rooney-to-become-their-first-big-name-footballer.html?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-TheSunFootball-_-20151123-_-Sport-_-286927871-_-Imageandlink"> The Sun</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The league recently signed a TV deal in the region of 830 million pounds and the Chinese government has been making a huge effort to uplift the status of the beautiful game in the country. They are of the opinion that getting a big name player to sign with a Chinese club could get other footballers to follow suit -- a theory that has been proven right in the past with David Beckham's move to Major League Soccer in the USA.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify"><strong>China aims to be one of the top footballing nations</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">A number of players who formerly graced the English Premier League are now playing in the Chinese Super League including Robinho, Paulinho, Demba Ba, Tim Cahill and Momo Sissoko. Sven-Goran Eriksson, who coached Rooney as the manager of the England national team, is also in China, now managing Shanghai SIPG FC.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">With his recent performances not showing him in good light, it could be a move that his agents might consider. The United captain, however, is highly valued at his club, and might just want to add a bit more to his legacy as a Manchester United and England striker before wandering off into semi-retirement.</p> <!--Article End-->
