Wayne Rooney describes Manchester United transfer request as his 'biggest mistake'
Rooney
issued a statement in Sept 2010 in which he questioned United's
ability to attract top players and indicated he wanted to leave because the
club could not match his ambitions.
Two days later, though, the England international performed a dramatic U-turn
and signed a new five-year contract at Old Trafford.
He looks back on the whole affair now with a sense of regret.
In his latest autobiography, which is being serialised by the Daily Mirror,
he recalls: "In September 2010 my ankle puts me on the sidelines.
"I get frustrated with myself, my game, my injury, and everything around
me.
