The Arsenal manager has admitted that he would be tempted by a move for the England international, who put in a transfer request to leave the title holders towards the end of the Premier League season. 

The 27-year-old did not feature in United's last two fixtures, and his future has been the subject of plenty of speculation since David Moyes was recruited from Everton to replace Alex Ferguson as manager 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' 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." 
 
Wenger's team narrowly clinched third place from their north London rivals Tottenham last term, but another season without silverware will surely see them looking to strengthen their side ahead of next season's campaign. 
 
They are expected to have around 70 million pounds available for transfers in the close-season, but would no doubt face a raft of rivals if they were to make a move for Rooney, with the likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain also believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
