Manchester United will not open new contract talks with Wayne Rooney until "February".
The Times says Rooney hopes to sign a new long-term contract with Manchester United “over the next few months”, but negotiations will not start until February, when the player’s agent, Paul Stretford, returns from a nine-month ban.
Stretford was banned from player representation in May last year after an FA inquiry into how he signed up Rooney in 2002.
In February Stretford, who has since set up the Triple S Sports and Entertainment Group, will look to open discussions with United over an extension of Rooney’s £100,000-a-week deal, which was signed in November 2006 and runs until June 2012
