Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney has again stated his commitment to the Premier League champions, insisting that he is not interested in a move away from Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old England striker has been linked with interest from Real Madrid in recent times, but Rooney has no plans for a transfer.

He commented: "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."

United chief executive David Gill had earlier ruled out the sale of Rooney, who has already passed the 20-goal mark this season.

He told BBC Radio Five Live: "I'm very, very confident in saying that unless Alex Ferguson agreed to it, we would not accept an offer for a player that we wanted to keep - regardless of the value.

"From my own personal perspective and Alex's, we have no doubt in saying that the owners would support whatever we require from a team perspective.

"Wayne has a contract through until 2012. He has gone on record to say he wants to stay and we want him to stay.

"I'm sure (a new deal) will be addressed in the close season. We hope that would be the case as we want to put him on a new, long-term contract. He's 24 and got the best years of his life ahead of him.

"Very few players, particularly UK-based players, want to leave Manchester United."
