Wayne Rooney claims that the Premier League will see the best of him next season, after drawing inspiration from watching Lionel Messi in action. The Manchester United striker is handful for most defences already, therefore this added impetus to his game could well cause a few sleepless nights for defenders.
Elsewhere in the news Arsenal have been given the green light to move for Mata; Joey Barton vows to give his all for Newcastle United, while David Beckham rules out a Premier League return.
