Napoli are reportedly interested in acquiring the services of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The 27-year-old is said to be ‘angry and confused’ amid reports he isn’t new manager David Moyes’ first choice striker, and as a result is looking to move from the Old Trafford club.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Rafael Benitez asked Partenopei presdient Aurelio De Laurentiis to make an offer for the England international, though it is thought he declined the request.

The Partenopei are looking to find an adequate replacement for the now departed Edinson Cavani, and have targeted Internacional’s Leandro Damiao, Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain and Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko.

Chelsea, however, have presented an official offer to United for the striker, but it was later dismissed.

Rooney has made 400 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 197 goals.
