Rooney wants to be Utd legend

Wayne Rooney has declared that he fully anticipates being a Man Utd legend after an impressive start to the Premiership season. Although Rooney is currently injured, Rooney wants to go down alongside legends such as Bobby Charlton and Roy Keane.

Rooney has so far won his first Premiership winners’ medal that came last season, after having joined Sir Alex Ferguson’s side from Everton in 2004.

The 21-year-old said: "You play football to win things, to make people happy and to make history. If I can have half the success the Busby Babes had at United, I would be delighted.

"You definitely want to be remembered and not forgotten, so I suppose everybody wants to be part of history."
