Gill expects Rooney to stay

As Alex said at his last press conference, that's an issue for David Moyes and the new team but I'm confident he'll be there next season.

I think he's a great, great player at a great, great club and the club doesn't want to lose its star player.

I'm sure every bit of work is being taken with Wayne and his advisors to ensure that happens. I'm not a betting man but I'm confident I'll sit at Old Trafford next season and see Wayne Rooney running out.
