Moyes to sue Rooney

Everton manager David Moyes is to sue England striker Wayne Rooney for comments made in the player’s book.

Moyes, under whom Rooney played at Goodison Park as a teenager, has instructed his lawyers to begin proceedings against the 20-year-old over several comments in his recently released book.

And the Scot’s lawyer, Mel Goldberg, confirmed this morning that the Everton boss will sue the Manchester United forward.

“There are couple (of comments) but I think the main one is ‘Moyes forced me out’ (of Everton),” Goldberg told BBC Radio Five Live.

“No manager wants to lose his best player and that was far from the truth.”
