Wayne Rooney sensationally changed his mind and agreed to sign a new five-year contract with the club.
Just a few days ago, the Englishman shocked the 'Red Devils' fans by stating that he wanted to leave because the team would weaken in the future.
However, on Wednesday everything changed: "The support and belief of coach Sir Alex Ferguson convinced me.
"I am happy with the new contract. I believe that the club's leaders, coaches, and owners will do everything to keep 'Man Utd' in the football elite in the future.
"I was worried that the team would weaken, but the fans have supported me from day one, so I will have to earn their love again."
Ferguson himself did not hide his joy: "I think now Wayne understands what a great club 'Man Utd' is. I am glad he agreed to set an example for the younger players and strive to enter the team's history. I believe we will all support him."
In recent days, rumors about the direction of the English national team striker's career have not stopped. It was said that Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City are most interested in him, and names like Karim Benzema, Diego Forlan, Sergio Aguero, and others were associated with the possibility of replacing him in Manchester.
