Wayne Rooney left Everton less than a year after returning from Man UtdWayne Rooney has claimed it was Everton owner Farhad Moshiri rather than former manager Sam Allardyce who wanted him out of the club. Rooney returned to Goodison Park from Manchester United on a two-year deal in July 2017 after almost 13 years at Old Trafford. According to Rooney, Allardyce was keen to keep him at Everton, albeit without being able to offer any guarantees over playing time, but Moshiri was less concerned to retain his services. Everton owner Farhad MoshiriRooney eventually joined MLS side DC United over the summer, where he has scored four goals in 12 appearances, and he has now spoken about the circumstances behind his Goodison exit. That's his decision but I'm disappointed how it happened," Rooney told The Sunday Times.
