Manchester United forward, Wayne Rooney, has committed his future to the reigning champions by signing a four-year contract extension. The deal which keeps the 28 year-old striker at Old Trafford until June 2019 also offers him the chance to become a club ambassador when he retires from the game.
United Manager, David Moyes, was extremely delighted after the England striker put pen to paper. He noted that "Wayne has been the best player in England since I put him into the Everton first team in 2003. Since becoming United manager in July last year, I have enjoyed working with him and seeing just how he has developed his incredible talent. With his ability, his experience and his desire to succeed, he is a vital part of my plans for the future and I'm absolutely thrilled he has accepted the challenge.
"I said last July that Wayne has an outstanding chance to be a true legend of this club's long and rich history. He is just 42 goals away from overtaking Sir Bobby as our record goalscorer and becoming the first United player to hit 250 goals for the club. These opportunities only come to special players and I'm confident Wayne will set a new record that will take decades to reach. These are really exciting times for everyone connected with the club."
