David Moyes wants Wayne Rooney to stay at Manchester United - and will try to make peace when the pair show up for pre-season training, the Mirror reports.

Moyes is not looking to sell the star he put on the road to the top at Everton and will let him know that when they finally get together.

The champions' new manager also plans to assure England ace Rooney that he has no problem with him and will try to smooth-over the row involving the now-retired Sir Alex Ferguson.

Moyes has not arranged any special face-to-face meeting with Rooney, as he is keen to avoid any drama - or possible problems.

Instead, the Scot, who only officially takes up station behind his desk at Carrington next week, plans a quiet word once training is up and running.
