Major League Soccer bosses are ready to throw “big dollars” at Wayne Rooney when he decides to leave Manchester United, reports the Mirror.

Striker Rooney is struggling to hold on to starting positions for club and country following a poor European Championship and expensive summer signings at Old Trafford.

And Merritt Paulson, who owns MLS champions Portland Timbers, has confirmed American franchises are monitoring the 30-year-old’s future closely and are ready to beat lucrative offers expected from China.

Paulson said: “I would argue he still has some good soccer ahead of him.

“I think he would be a great signing for MLS - 100 per cent MSL would be attractive for him.
