Schmeichel said: "I'm convinced United and Chelsea are going to come in with enormous bids and Rooney will not be an Everton player at the end of the summer. I hope he chooses United over Chelsea."
"He is a northern boy and his family is very important to him. If he plays for United he won't need to move home. But if he chose Chelsea he would find himself in London, a big city where there are a lot of temptations. You know United have the set-up - and above all the manager - to develop talent. Sir Alex is exactly who Rooney needs. He teaches young players humility and respect and he keeps his players under control."
George Best's advice is for Rooney to move too:
"He looks a level-headed kid and he is happy but if you are honest Everton are not going to win anything. If you are talking about trophies and medals and whatever else you want, you have to move."
"I'm sure David Moyes is going to say he is not going anywhere but it is up to Rooney - he is in the driving seat. If it was me I would want to go to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United or Chelsea. He is playing in an average Premiership side at Everton."
