Blackburn, Bolton keen on John Rooney - kid brother of Man Utd's Wayne

The kid brother of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney could make a sensational move to the Premiership.

The Mirror says Rooney could soon be joined in the Premier League by his younger brother John.

Blackburn and Bolton have both sent scouts to check on Macclesfield's 18-year-old starlet.

And a serious bid is in the pipeline for the young Moss Rose hitman if he carries on dishing up sterling displays.

Like his big brother, John was on Everton's books as a kid but failed to make the grade.

He was picked up by Macc and has been slowly nurtured by Keith Alexander over the past 12 months.

And he's looking like a late developer with his talents coming to the fore in recent games.
