Rooney denies summer move - Phil-M.U.F.C. - 26-01-2010

More talk of Rooney leaving in the summer. I'm sure the talk is linked to our debt.

Rooney plays down move talk
United star happy at Old Trafford

Wayne Rooney has moved to play down speculation linking him with a big-money summer move to Spain.

The England striker has reportedly emerged as a summer target for La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, who are ready to test United's resolve over their prized asset.

Rooney is enjoying life with United this season and has already bagged 19 league goals.

And the 24-year-old has brushed off speculation that he could follow former United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo to Spain.

"There's always speculation, and when other big teams are talking about you, it's nice that you're talked about," he told United's website.

"But as I've said many times before, I'm a United player and I'm very happy here."

Rooney insists he is intent on collecting more silverware for United.

"I hope we can win the title again this year," he said.

"We've won the league the last three years and nobody has ever won it four times in a row. We want to create history.

"The title race is much tighter this year and it's probably more exciting for the neutrals or fans around the country. But we're hoping that now we are top we can go on and remain there for the rest of the season."

This keeps rearing it's head up, but worth airing this news story, as he is our biggest asset and the best performer this season. I believe that he won't go as long as SAF is at the helm, but after that, who knows. I would understand how he would want to try his skills in a different league, maybe, but he has said that he wants his boy to grow up in England.

Finally Rooney .. spokes out about the speculations.......... hope nw te media will be quiet!


RE: Rooney denies summer move - Noucamp99 - 27-01-2010

Sir Alex has gone on record to say he isn't going anywhere, too:

Sir Alex Ferguson insists that he has no fear Wayne Rooney could be enticed by a big-money switch to Spain.

There has been continued speculation in recent weeks suggesting Real Madrid and Barcelona were readying summer bids for the England star.

And Rooney himself came out earlier this week to stress how happy he was with life at Old Trafford.

But Manchester United boss Ferguson says he is not worried by the claims.

"Wayne made his declaration, but we knew that. He doesn't want to leave here," said Ferguson.

"We are sure of where the speculation is coming from. It is not his agent and it is not Wayne.

"But we'll deal with that."

Rooney reaffirms his Man United stay

Rooney plans United stay
Gill also insists United will not sell star striker

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney insists there is "no reason" for him to want to move away from Old Trafford.

It has been suggested United might be forced to cash in on the England international to help ease their debts.

Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are both thought to be keen on tempting Rooneyaway from United, but the former Everton ace insists he is happy with life at Old Trafford

"This is my club. I'm very happy here," said Rooney.

"My family live 30 minutes away. I'm perfectly happy and there is no reason to play my football anywhere else. Manchester United are the biggest club in the world."

Rooney has two-and-a-half years remaining on his Red Devils deal, with reports suggesting talks will get under way over a new four-year contract soon.

The England frontman has netted 21 goals in all competitions this season, but claims even he is sometimes happy to avoid boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
"There are days when I don't want to see the manager," added Rooney. "He can be fierce at times. Even after we have won 2-0 or 3-0, and the lads are laughing and joking and thinking they've played well, he sometimes comes in and lets loose. I'm left thinking: 'What's wrong?'

"Our dressing room is not a nice place to be when we lose. He's a perfectionist."

Rooney admits he has not enjoyed the best relationship with Everton boss David Moyessince making the switch to United from his boyhood club in 2004.

"Things haven't been good between us," noted Rooney. "I've said a few bad things in the past about him but, when I look back, I see what he did for me. He helped make me the player I am today."

Not for sale

United chief executive David Gill, meanwhile, has stressed Rooney is not for sale at any price.
"I'm very, very confident in saying that unless Alex agreed to it, we would not accept an offer for a player that we wanted to keep - regardless of the value," Gill told Radio Five Live.

"From my own personal perspective, and Alex's, we have no doubt in saying that they (United's owners, the Glazer family) would support whatever we require from a team perspective."

He added: "Wayne has a contract through until 2012," said Gill.

"He has gone on record to say he wants to stay and we want him to stay.

"I'm sure (a new deal) will be addressed in the close season. We hope that would be the case as we want to put him on a new, long-term contract. He's 24 and got the best years of his life ahead of him.

"Very few players, particularly UK-based players, want to leave Manchester United."
