On Friday, Everton boss Sam Allardyce said Rooney has not asked to leave.

The former England captain has agreed a deal with the Major League Soccer side that could see him move to the USA.
It is thought Rooney, 32, is willing to leave his boyhood club Everton, one season after returning to the club.
“The deal is not done but there is some interest from our end,” Olsen told American website TMZ.
Rooney rejoined Everton in July 2017 and scored 11 goals before Christmas but has not been an automatic pick for Allardyce in recent weeks.
The forward originally left the Toffees as an 18-year-old in 2004, spending 13 seasons at Manchester United where he became their record goalscorer, won five Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League.
It is understood Rooney has been offered a contract until the end of the 2020 MLS season. The US transfer window does not open until July.
