The England striker had announced his intention to leave Old Trafford but changed his mind to agree new terms.
Wayne Rooney made a shock U-turn and signed a new five-year deal at Manchester United on this day in 2010.
The then 24-year-old let rip at the club’s leadership and said he would not be agreeing new terms following meetings with chief executive David Gill.“During those meetings in August I asked for assurances about the continued ability of the club to attract the top players in the world,” said Rooney. Reports of Rooney’s dissatisfaction had been rumbling for a few days, with a “dumbfounded” manager Sir Alex Ferguson also confirming the forward’s desire to leave.
