London: Everton manager Ronald Koeman says he would love to bring Wayne Rooney back to Goodison Park if the England star can't revive his flagging Manchester United fortunes.

United captain Rooney has been relegated to the bench by boss Jose Mourinho in recent weeks after a dip in form that prompted speculation he could be on the verge of leaving Old Trafford.
Koeman was asked on Friday if he would be interested in offering Merseyside-born Rooney a return home to Everton, who he left in 2004 to join United after starting his career with the Toffees.
"First of all, I think it is a great player, and he has still not finished his career," Koeman said. "I do not know how his situation is, and I need to respect that. That's not my problem. But even when we get one time the possibility that Rooney is an option for Everton, I'm very pleased."
