Bayern Munich not chasing Wayne Rooney

Bayern Munich's sporting director Matthias Sammer has ruled out a move for Manchester United's striker Wayne Rooney. The England international has told Man Utd that he wants to quit the club at the end of the season.

But Sammer insists signing the forward is not part of his club's summer plans.


I don't know what Rooney would bring to the Bundesliga," Sammer said. "I can't answer that. I can answer that we have great respect for Wayne Rooney but there has been no contact with him. There is no contact and he's not on the agenda. No, no. Absolutely not."
