MANCHESTER United are expected to announce that Wayne Rooney has signed a new contract today (Friday).
Speculation has been rife this week that the England star has agreed terms on a new five-and-a-half year deal at Old Trafford, which would see him paid £300,000 a week and remain with the Reds until June 2019.
The club has not yet confirmed the deal, but it is being reported in national media that it will be announced today, providing a welcome boost to United boss David Moyes.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan president Erick Thohir says that the Italian giants are close to agreeing a deal to sign Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic.
The Serbian defender becomes a free agent in the summer after he confirmed earlier this month that he would be leaving Old Trafford at the end of his contract, and Thohir says that a deal is nearing completion to take him to the San Siro.
