Rooney will stay at Manchester United. He signed a contract extension for the next 5 years and it seems that we'll be seeing the ball wizard in the same red shirt after all. The striker released a press statement today :
" I’m delighted to sign another deal at United.
In the last couple of days, I’ve talked to the manager and the owners and they’ve convinced me this is where I belong.
I said on Wednesday the manager’s a genius and it’s his belief and support that have convinced me to stay."
Sir Alex Ferguson stated that he is happy that Rooney has chosen to stay.
Sir Ferguson declared:
"It’s been a difficult week, but the intensity of the coverage is what we expect at Manchester United. I said to the boy that the door is always open and I’m delighted Wayne has agreed to stay. Sometimes, when you’re in a club, it can be hard to realise just how big it is and it takes something like the events of the last few days to make you understand. I think Wayne now understands what a great club Manchester United is.
I’m pleased he has accepted the challenge to guide the younger players and establish himself as one of United’s great players. It shows character and belief in what we stand for.
I’m sure everyone involved with the Club will now get behind Wayne and show him the support he needs to produce the performances we know he is capable of.”
Do you think that Rooney leaving United was just a publicity stunt or a real intent ?
