Rooney would like to spend the rest of his career at Old Trafford

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has indicated he would like to spend the rest of his career at Old Trafford.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in Rooney but the 24-year-old England forward does not envisage leaving the club he joined from Everton in 2004.

“It is nice to be noticed but I am really happy at United,” he said.

“I can’t see myself leaving. I have two years left on my contract after this year and I’m sure we’ll be negotiating a new deal in the next few months.”

“Although I was an Everton fan, I loved watching United play,” he said. “It probably started watching them from about 1994. Eric Cantona was brilliant in that team.

“He had something about him. You looked at him and he was so fearsome. And that was just on the television. Imagine playing up against him?

“They won a lot of trophies too. But it was more than just that. It was the way they played and attacked. The way they played right to the end. They scored all those last-minute goals, which showed their desire to want to keep going.

“Now, I am there and I have won trophies there myself. I just want to win more.”
