Audi for Rooney

Video Safari

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney is expected to announce a lucrative new endorsement deal with Audi in the next fortnight.
The Telegraph says Audi, who already have an agreement with United to provide cars for their players and staff, will become the fourth personal sponsor of Rooney, joining EA Games, Coca-Cola and Nike. Those deals net Rooney around £5 million a year on top of his £2.6 million-a-year salary at Old Trafford.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has placed a limit of five sponsorships on Rooney in an effort to avoid him being distracted from his football. With one opening left, Rooney's representatives are believed to be courting interest from mobile phone companies.
