Manchester United legend Gary Neville is surprised Wayne Rooney's future remains undecided.

United are still yet to deliver any definitive stance regarding their top earner, meaning the confusion surrounding the future direction of Rooney's career remains rife.

"You don't want to create voids for speculation around such big players," the former United captain told the BBC.

"I am surprised it has not been dealt with.

"You don't want that speculation to hang over a pre-season because every single press conference and media session will be clogged up with the issue of whether he is staying or going."
