Of course, money isn't everything. Rooney reportedly turned down an offer from Beijing Guoan in the summer, but his situation has changed since then.
Rooney began the season as a guaranteed starter for Jose Mourinho's season, but has been used sparingly since losing his place at the end of September.
His contract expires in 2019, but, if he wants to be a regular starter, it's looking increasingly likely that he'll have to leave Old Trafford to do so.
Rooney's boyhood club Everton have long been linked with a move for the player should he leave United before his contract expires. However, they aren't paying that type of money and no-one outside of the Asian country is.
If the 31-year-old, who earns a reported £300,000 a week at Old Trafford, does move to China, he'll be playing against his former United teammate Carlos Tevez.
The Argentine is set to join Shanghai Shenhua from his boyhood club Boca Juniors next month, and will earn a reported £615,000 a week.
