Manchester United fans can expect big name bids in the coming months after Wayne Rooney's agreed his new contract.

The Glazer family have assured Rooney they will be spending big in the coming transfer windows.

His change of heart came after he was convinced by the owners and manager Sir Alex Ferguson that United still have the financial power to compete.

A well-placed source in the United States told The Sun: "Manchester United went to unprecedented lengths to keep Wayne Rooney at the club.

"Members of the Glazer family have made assurances and promised Wayne the club will sign highly valuable players when they become available."
