Wayne should stay, says Edwin

FORMER Manhester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has urged Reds striker Wayne Rooney not to seek a change of club.

The 27 year old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford since it was revealed he had a transfer request rejected by the Premier League champions.

Big–spending Paris St Germain are reported to be interested in signing the England international but his former team–mate Van der Sar, now a marketing director with Dutch giants Ajax, feels Rooney could find a new lease of life under incoming United manager David Moyes.

The Dutchman said: "There has been so much pressure on him, you build him up and put all your money on him to make England world or European champions. So it's also quite easy to cut him down again.

"Players have indifferent seasons and maybe Wayne has been overtaken by Robin van Persie this year, but it's the hard work that he puts in for the team that should be recognised."
