No reason to leave United - Rooney

31 January 2010 10:02
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney insists there is "no reason" for him to want to move away from Old Trafford. Financial figures released earlier this month revealed United would have made a loss in 2009 had it not been for the £80million sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Rooney has reportedly attracted interest from both Madrid and Barcelona, but has reiterated to both Spanish giants that he has no plans to leave the Barclays Premier League champions. Quoted in several Sunday newspapers, the 24-year-old said: "This is my club. I'm very happy here. "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."
