Rooney announced that he will make a decision after Euro 2016. Currently, he remains central to England’s and Man United’s plans, but summer could bring a major change in his football career path.

This season, Rooney has failed to grow under Louis van Gaal’s management and Shanghai could use this to their advantage knowing that he has three years remaining on his present contract with the Old Trafford side. The question now on everybody’s lips is:

Will Rooney join Eriksson?
