W. Rooney explained why he chose "Everton" over the USA.

Wayne Rooney, when leaving Manchester United, had to make a difficult decision. The Briton was closely linked to teams in the United States, but the MLS competition did not interest the footballer.

The striker claims that if he had gone across the Atlantic, his passion for the game would have disappeared.

"That's not me. I need those goals, I need that pressure. The desire to play would have disappeared if I had made a different decision.

I knew that returning to Everton would bring me a lot more pressure. That's what I wanted. I wanted to show my abilities once again to the Everton fans and I want to help this team move forward and win trophies.

I think it was a great choice for me and I hope that in the next two or three years we will be able to do it," said the legendary English footballer.
