Rooney wants to play for Sir Alex forever

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney wants to stay at Old Trafford until the end of his career, and hopes that Sir Alex Ferguson will be in charge for the whole time.

Last week, Wayne Rooney had been sensationally linked with an exit out of Old Trafford. United quickly rejected those reports and said that Rooney will be staying at the club.

Rooney said: "Sir Alex is the greatest manager of all time. Of course I would like to play under him for the rest of my career.

"He's a great manager and is a big reason why I joined Manchester United. If I could finish my career playing under Sir Alex then I won't have gone far wrong.

"As I said before he is, in my eyes, the best ever. His success and his trophies speak for themselves. He's an incredible manager and has done so much for football and so much for my game as well.

"His every-day commitment to his job is what makes him stand out. He's in before the players every morning and leaves after you. His commitment, his desire to win and his dedication is incredible."
