MOYES TO SUE ROONEY?

The People:

Furious David Moyes is taking legal action against Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney's scathing criticism and accusations in his book.

Everton chief Moyes's lawyers, London-based Max Bitel Greene, have been in official contact with a newspaper after Rooney's remarks in his autobiography 'My Life So Far' were serialised.

Rooney claimed that his relationship with Moyes had forced him out of Goodison two years ago - and into joining any club. He also accused the manager of being jealous of the attention he was receiving.

Moyes has said nothing about the row but legal letters have landed on desks, seeking an apology and correction of Rooney's comments.
