I’m leaving Manchester United, confirms Wayne Rooney
Manchester: Wayne Rooney confirmed he wants to leave Manchester United here, saying he had decided to quit Old Trafford because the club could no longer attract top players.
One day after Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson revealed Rooney had vowed not to sign a new contract, the 24-year-old superstar yesterday broke his silence by claiming his move was not motivated by money.
In a statement released before Manchester United’s Champions League tie with Bursaspor, Rooney said he was leaving after failing to win assurances from the club that they would continue to be able to invest in elite talent.
“It is absolutely true that my agent and I have had a number of meetings with the club about a new contract,” Rooney said.
