Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that he could be interested in signing Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The England international has been amid transfer gossip following Sir Alex Ferguson's confirmation that the forward expressed a desire to leave the Red Devils at the end of the season.

The Gunners have been touted as a possible destination, but Wenger believes that new United boss David Moyes will have some work to do to keep Rooney at Old Trafford.

"Rooney could be an interesting player for everybody in the world, who would turn him down?" Wenger told Al Jazeera.

"David Moyes's first challenge is to go in to Manchester and bridge the gap between him and Rooney.

"If that is feasible or not depends on his personality and if Rooney bears a grudge or not, we will see. It will be interesting to see how that will be handled."

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and United's Premier League rivals Chelsea have also been linked with potential moves for the striker.
