Since the £80 million departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney has taken on the responsibility of being Manchester United's main source of goals which has consequently led to the striker finding the back of the net 21 times in all competitions. [LNB]As his form has continued his price tag has exponentially risen heightening suggestions that Manchester United may be subject to a big money bid for the 24-year-old.

I'm very happy here. [LNB]"My family live 30 minutes away. I'm perfectly happy and there is no reason to play my football anywhere else.

[LNB]"There are days when I don't want to see the manager," he said. "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?' [LNB]"Our dressing room is not a nice place to be when we lose. He's a perfectionist." [LNB]United's players, taking on Arsenal today in a mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash, will be hoping to avoid Ferguson's wrath at the end of the 90 minutes at the Emirates. [LNB]
