London: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has cleared his stance and said that he has no plans of leaving his team.
Rooney’s future at Old Trafford has been the subject of speculation after he was fined for an unauthorised night out.
The striker scored twice in their win over local rivals Manchester City in their third-round FA Cup tie at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
After the match, Rooney claimed that he has no issues at Manchester United. “There is no problem for me. I want to be at this club for a long time,” said Rooney.
Rooney admitted that his team got careless after taking a 3-0 lead during half time against City, and expressed relief on winning the match, The Daily Mail reports.
“There is no problem for me at this club, I want to be at this club for a long time,” he added.
United boss Alex Ferguson claimed he had no problem with Rooney and warned the striker he had to learn to get used to negative headlines.
Fergie said: “There’s absolutely no problem with Wayne what Wayne has got to realise is the press have got another (Paul) Gascoigne and he’s got to suffer with that.”
