In the last couple of weeks, the press from the city of Liverpool has been adamant in linking Wayne Rooney to a possible return to Everton. The England skipper continues to warm up the bench as Manchester United keeps getting negative results, Jose Mourinho is being widely criticized because he is invested on using Wayne as a substitute striker when he clearly can help as a midfielder. This is the reason why the Everton links have surfaced.
Even some Toffies' players are keen on that Rooney comeback, Jagielka for example: "Maybe a fresh start somewhere would help him or maybe he's a game away from being a hero again. He is an Evertonian and I am sure the fans would take to him. He has built the bridges that he potentially burnt many years ago when he was a young lad and you’ll have to watch this space."
But Jagielka knows that Rooney leaving United is unlikely: "Obviously Wayne has got a long contract at Man U, he's still their captain. Just because he's not playing at the moment doesn't mean he is not a massive part of their team. Plus obviously you would need to speak to the manager and see if Wayne would fit into the jigsaw that the manager has got planned ahead for us.
"We still know he is a fantastic player and people are quick to jump on his back, but that is the way Wayne has had it for most of his career. So maybe a fresh start somewhere would help him or maybe he is a game away from being a hero again. So it is a difficult one. He is a good player and if you ask the manager whether he would like him or not I think that would solve it a bit quicker than most but I doubt he is going to give you that much information."
