I will never play for another Premier league side – Rooney

 

Football: England and Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney, has promised he will never play for another Premier League team besides current club Manchester United.

Rooney, who joined United from Everton in 2004 and currently chasing down Sir Bobby Charlton’s scoring record at Old Trafford, has been linked with a late-career move back to Everton, but he insists that he will never join a domestic rival.

"Manchester United and Everton are the only clubs I have played for as a professional footballer," 

 "I am happy to say now that, whatever may happen in the future, I will never play for another Premier League club.

"I owe United and Everton everything for giving me my footballing opportunities. Everton and United, along with my family, gave me the support and opportunity to help me achieve my goals and dreams."

 Rooney also announced plans for his testimonial match against Everton on August 3 at Old Trafford.
All the proceeds from the game will go to the NSPCC, the Claire House children’s hospice, Alder Hey children’s hospital and the Manchester United Foundation.

“This game will be a fitting tribute to everything he has achieved,” new United boss, Jose Mourinho, said.

“I’m looking forward to what will be a very special night for us both.”
