Former Manchester United and AC Milan striker Joe Jordan can't see Wayne Rooney ever being tempted to move to Italy.
Jordan pities the British players who miss out on the Italian job – yet insists Wayne Rooney can achieve all his ambitions with Manchester United.
He told the Sunday Mirror: “I was very fortunate to have the challenge of going to Italy at the age of 29 and in a way it’s a shame our players aren’t getting that opportunity these days because it was a great experience.
“The fact is, though, that the Premier League is now No.1 all over the world and Italian football can’t compete financially. I couldn’t have imagined in my playing days watching Chelsea v Manchester City with two Italian managers in charge. Amazing.
“What Italian clubs would pay for Rooney is hypothetical because it’s not going to happen. I don’t see it even crossing his mind.
“I can’t see him going to Spain, either. He is with arguably the biggest club in the world and he has become the man at Manchester United.
“He’s got everything he wants at Old Trafford. He’s playing in front of 76,000 every home match and he’s playing with quality players.
“He wants to keep on winning trophies and have the opportunity to fulfil his ambitions. United give him that.”

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes was delighted with his winner at Wolves.
Scholes' strike was his 100th league goal for United.
"I'm very pleased with that," the 35-year-old said on ESPN after the match. "To score goals is what you need to do to win games.
"Thankfully tonight it's fallen to me and I've managed to put it in. It was a difficult game. It was a tough pitch and a tough team to play against."
The victory takes United back to the top of the table, two points above Chelsea, who have a game in hand.
Scholes admits it will be an extra boost ahead of the visit of AC Milan in the second leg of the Champions League next week.
He added: "A 1-0 win is exactly what you need at this stage of the season so we're happy with that.
"I think it's probably a good time to go top. It gives us confidence going into Wednesday as well."

Chelsea have been in talks with the Piazon family for some months, though Milan are also keen.
And Pederzoli confirmed to Milan.it: "He's a guy who we know well, we are following him and recognise him as important, but for now there's nothing more.
"He's still very young, we speak of a boy aged 15-16, we will continue to follow him."
