Wayne Rooney is ready to stick with Everton after Sam Allardyce's sacking yesterday.

The Sun says Rooney was due to join MLS side DC United on a £300,000-a-week deal and said his goodbyes last Friday.

But he has put the switch on hold following Big Sam's axing yesterday as he wants to speak to the new boss before committing to the USA.

Rooney, 32, needs to know if he figures in the club's plans after months of frustration under Allardyce.

Despite repeatedly saying there were no problems between them, Allardyce is understood to have told the former England striker he would struggle for game time next season.
