Wayne Rooney's agent has held talks with Bill Kenwright over a sensational return to Everton for the Manchester United captain.

Our exclusive pictures show Paul Stretford arriving at Kenwright's office in London this afternoon.

United are in talks with Everton over a deal to take the England skipper back to Goodison Park after 13 years at Old Trafford.

The Reds are keen to offload Rooney on a permanent deal, but Everton's unwillingness to fund his huge salary means a loan deal is the likeliest option.

Rooney was pictured in Liverpool on Wednesday with United coach Rod Thornley as he used a gym in the city centre.

Everton are willing to pay half of Rooney's wages as part of a loan agreement with United, with the 31-year-old a free agent next summer when his contract is up.

With his future unclear, Rooney is set to be omitted from United's pre-season tour of the US, with Jose Mourinho and his squad leaving for Los Angeles on Sunday.

Rooney was tipped to move to the Far East this summer but has his heart set on a return to his boyhood club.

Ronald Koeman made no secret of his interest in England's all-time leading goalscorer, with Rooney only willing to play for United and Everton in the Premier League.

Everton have already spent over £90million this summer with Koeman set to turn his attention to Gylfi Sigurdsson and Olivier Giroud.
