WAYNE ROONEY sign new 5 year deal with Manchester United

WAYNE ROONEY expressed his delight at signing a new deal with Manchester United — then begged the club's fans for forgiveness.

The 24-year-old striker angered Red Devils supporters by declaring he intended to quit Old Trafford after publically questioning the club's ambition on Wednesday.
It looked certain Rooney would be sold in the January transfer window — but crisis talks with United boss Alex Ferguson, chief executive David Gill and the Glazer family changed his mind.
Rooney said: "I had some concerns but over the last couple of days but I spoke with the manager, David Gill and the Glazers and all of them confirmed that this is the right club for me to be at.
"They told me the club is going to continue to be successful and win things so I was happy to move forward and sign a deal.
"It's been very complicated but I'm delighted it's all over and we can put it in the back of our minds.
"There's a lot of media coverage and I'm sure similar situations have happened with other players — they just never become public."
Rooney revealed crunch talks with the United hierarchy ensured a swift resolution was achieved by all parties.
The striker — currently sidelined with an ankle injury — added: "It's something me and the club spoke about and we felt it best to move things on quickly and I'm delighted to have agreed the deal today.
"I'm glad it's over and I just want to get fit and get back on the pitch."
United supremo Ferguson always maintained the door would be open for Rooney to change his mind and stay at Old Trafford.
And the England striker was quick to thank his boss for being so understanding.
Rooney added: "It's been difficult for the manager — he has to look after the club and he was trying to convince me to sign a new deal.
"We spoke about it and he's been fantastic — he's a great manager, which I've said many times.
"He's a big reason I came here and I've been successful under him and I hope we can do that again.
"He's not the only reason I'm staying — I've been here six years and won trophies here but his experiences, passion and will to win is a big reason I'm playing here.
"Since it's become public knowledge we've had to move quicker than expected but the manager made it clear he still wanted me to sign."
And Rooney attempted to build bridges with the club's angry fans who have been left questioning whether his heart truly is at Old Trafford.
He added: "I'm sure they've been upset with everything they've heard but I care for this club, I want to be here and I want to continue being successful with this club.
"Some fans might not take to it to quickly, it might take time but I'll be giving 100 per cent on the pitch like I always do — I hope we can work together on this and win trophies again."
