WAYNE Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford held talks in China yesterday amid mounting speculation over the Manchester United captain’s future
Cheap Nike Air Force 1 , British media said.
Rooney, 31, has been sidelined by manager Jose Mourinho heightening expectations he could leave United for the mega-rich Chinese Super League.

Nike Air Force 1 Sale , Beijing Guo’an, Jiangsu Suning and Tianjin Quanjian are said to be among those interested in United’s all-time top scorer.
British media have reported that he could earn up to US$1 million a week, making him the world’s best paid player.
However
Nike Air Force 1 Mens , it remains unlikely that any move would be complete before the transfer window shuts next Tuesday.
Rooney missed Wednesday’s Europa League last-32 second leg in Saint-Etienne through injury — which United won 1-0 to advance 4-0 on aggregate — but dominated conversation in France.
Mourinho said that Rooney’s future was in his own hands in comments at his pre-match press conference that only fuelled the speculation.
“You’ll have to ask him,” Mourinho said. “You have to ask him. Of course I can’t guarantee (he will be here). I can’t guarantee that I’m here next week, how can I guarantee that a player is here next season?
“What I can guarantee is that if Wayne one day leaves the club it is not because I want him to leave the club. That’s the only thing I can guarantee.
“I would never push — or try to push — a legend of this club to another destiny.
“So you have to ask him if he sees himself staying in the club for the rest of his career or if he sees himself moving. It is not a question for me because I am happy to have him.”
Rooney’s deal runs until mid-2018
Nike Air Force 1 Womens , which United can extend by a further year.
He is United’s record goalscorer and has won five English Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League trophy since joining as an 18-year-old from Everton in 2004.
A return to boyhood club Everton or a move to Major League Soccer could be other avenues for Rooney, but are unlikely to offer wages anywhere near that available in China.
Former United teammate Carlos Tevez, ex-Chelsea midfielder Oscar and former Watford striker Odion Ighalo are among those to have recently made big-money moves. However
Nike Air Force 1 Mid , a switch to China could bring Rooney’s England career to an abrupt end.
The country’s all-time top scorer has won 119 caps and is closing in on Peter Shilton’s record of 125 appearances.
Rooney has already announced plans to retire from international football after next year’s World Cup in Russia.
A newly-released report by China Academy of Social Sciences has shed some light on the impact of the changed educational structure on dating and marriage in China, Guangzhou Daily reported.
From 2000 to 2010, the marriage rate for postgraduates continued to drop
Nike Air Force 1 Low , the report said, with the rate for women falling below 50 percent in 2010. The situation is particularly striking in the group aged between 25 to 34.
The change in the gender ratio on the top educational hierarchy might have contributed to the trend, according to the report.
Figures indicate that women with master degrees outnumbered men in the 20 to 29 age group by 2010.
The report explained that ideally both women and men would prefer their other halves with the same educational level

This preference didn't change much during the past years, it was claimed. However, with a drop in the number of highly-educated men

RIO DE JANEIRO， Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The 20-year-old Anna Korakaki from Greece beat German shooter Monica Karsch 8-6 to win the women's 25m pistol title at the Olympic Shooting Center here on Tuesday.
It was the second Rio medal for Korakaki， as the Olympic debutant took home a bronze from the women's 10m air pistol two days ago.
"I can say it helped me because my mentality has changed，" said Korakaki about the feeling of entering the range with a medal in hand.
"I already won a medal two days ago."
It was her first gold in international competitions.
Korakaki began shooting at the age of twelve. Her father Anastassios has trained her since then.
"There are some difficulties when you have your parent as a coach，" said Korakaki.
"When you live in the same house and are with each other 24 hours a day， it is a lot.
"The balance is delicate， but we have good chemistry."
Two Olympic medals are good enough for the 20-year-old talent to start her career， and she was expecting more.
"Goals never stop， so I am dreaming of more medals in my career，" she said.
Korakaki started the final by leading at 6-0， only to see Karsch win three straight series to level the score 6-6. In the decisive round， Korakaki hit four out of her five targets， while Karsch only managed three， which meant Korakaki finally got the victory.
"My husband is here and I think we go to celebrate today，" said the silver medalist.
"My family is at home watching the TV and I think they celebrate too."
The 47-year-old Swiss veteran Heidi Diethelm Gerber defeated Chinese talent Zhang Jingjing 8-4 to finish with the bronze.
World No. 1 Zhang did a good job in the qualification stage， shooting 299 points in the final three rounds to score 592， refreshing the Olympic record.
Zhang started the semifinal well， but missed a few targets in the following round.
Gerber shot a great bronze-medal match against Zhang， hitting at least three targets in each of the six rounds to harvest her first Olympic medal.
"It was very close and it is quite hard to shoot so many series，" said Gerber about the competition for the bronze medal.
"But it was O.
