Rooney urged to choose
\nOld Trafford<\/p>\n
MANCHESTER, England: Former Manchester United keeper Peter
\nSchmeichel has urged Wayne Rooney to choose Manchester United
\nover Newcastle if its silverware and glory he seeks.<\/p>\n
Both clubs have in recent days seen bids for the teenaged
\nEverton striker rejected by the Merseyside club, although United
\nis believed to be making an increased bid for the 18-year-old
\nlater Friday.<\/p>\n
As Rooney makes up his mind, with the likelihood that he will
\nopt for Old Trafford over St James' Park, Schmeichel feels
\nNewcastle just doesn't have the pedigree to match a player of his
\ntalents.<\/p>\n
United had an initial bid - reported to be 20 million pounds
\n(US$36 million) - turned down by Everton. Newcastle's second,
\nimproved bid of 23.5 million pounds has also been rejected. --AFP<\/p>\n
