Former Los Angeles Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas warns the American club off signing Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

Former Los Angeles Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas has warned the American club off signing Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

The MLS outfit have been strongly linked with a move for the 31-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at Man United this season following a series of underwhelming performances.

Lalas, however, has claimed that LA Galaxy would not get value for money if they moved for the Englishman, using Steven Gerrard's time in California as an example.

"They got little return on the Steven Gerrard investment and does Rooney still have much to give and something which works in the MLS, even if he is five years younger than Gerrard?" Lalas told The Sun.

"Are you replacing a player who had limited involvement and limited impact, with yet another player who will have limited involvement and limited impact? If Rooney, at 31, doesn't still have the things which made him great, then it's problematic.

"Living in Beverly Hills is great. But if you don't couple it with performances on the field then you are just stealing money. The player he is now isn't the player of 10 years ago - but then no-one is."

Only Bobby Charlton has scored more goals for Man United than Rooney, who is currently three behind the total set by the club legend (249) between the years 1956 and 1973.
