Everton manager David Moyes is to sue a newspaper over comments made by England striker Wayne Rooney in the player's book.

Moyes, under whom Rooney played at Goodison Park as a teenager, has instructed his lawyers to begin proceedings against the Daily Mail who serialised the book.

The Scot's lawyer, Mel Goldberg, said: "There are couple (of comments) but I think the main one is 'Moyes forced me out' (of Everton)."
