<p>Sports management firm Proactive has won permission to appeal over a £4.3 million claim against Manchester United and England footballer Wayne Rooney.</p>
<p>Judge Brendan Hegarty QC ruled at Manchester Mercantile Court in July last year that the agreement between Proactive and Rooney for a 20% commission for a number of multimillion-pound deals was unenforceable.</p>
<p>The judge said the eight-year contract Rooney signed as a young Everton player was &#8220;an unreasonable restraint&#8221; of his trade when the Football Association recommended a maximum of two years.</p>
<p>Lord Justice Ward, giving permission at the Court of Appeal in London, said Proactive did have a prospect of success in its arguments over Rooney&#8217;s contract and whether or not they were due sums accrued for services it did provide.</p>
<p>&#8220;The mere fact that this was a claim for millions of pounds is almost in itself a compelling reason to give permission to appeal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Judge Hegarty, who had postponed his verdict until after the World Cup had finished, ordered Speed 9849 Ltd, the company owned by Rooney&#8217;s wife, Coleen, to pay Proactive just over £90,000 for work conducted on her behalf up to October 2008.</p>
