Wayne Rooney has told Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson he couldn't care less if Wesley Sneijder earns more than him at Old Trafford.
The People says Rooney insists he would welcome Inter Milan star Sneijder or any other top player at Old Trafford even if they earn more than him.
The Manchester United striker has angrily slammed speculation that he is holding up a deal for the £35million-rated Dutch midfield star because he wants to be the clubs highest-paid player.
A source close to the England striker said: "Its nonsense to suggest Wayne would ever stop Manchester United signing a player like Wesley Sneijder because he wants to stay the top-paid player at Old Trafford its absolutely not true.
"In fact its just the reverse he's happy to see United sign any world-class player to improve the club's chances of success.
"What other players earn when they join United is of no concern to Wayne he is happy with his own situation at the club.
"Wayne is committed to seeing Manchester United improve at every level, which is why he signed on for five more years last season."
