Wayne Rooney "really excited" to be part of Manchester United future

Wayne Rooney reveals that he is "really excited" about leading Man United's rebuilding process under David Moyes after signing a new long-term contract at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney is convinced that he can lead Manchester United to glory after signing a new lucrative contract which will keep him at the club until June 2019.

The 28-year-old ended months of speculation on Friday evening by finally penning a four-year extension at Old Trafford worth £300,000 per week.

The England international striker has thanked the Red Devils fans and hierarchy for their support of him, and now wants to reward them by playing an influential role in their rebuilding under David Moyes.

"I am made up to be staying at United," a statement on the club's official website read. "In August I will have been at the club for 10 years and during that time I have played with some fantastic players and won everything that I hoped I would when I first signed. I now have the chance as one of the club's senior players to help the younger players coming through and to be a part of another great United team.

"The fans have always been a huge part of this club and the support they have given me since my debut against Fenerbahce has been amazing. I am very grateful to all United fans around the world for their continued support.

"I am really excited to be a part of the club's future and want to thank David Moyes and Ed Woodward for their belief and support in me. I am convinced that this is the start of another successful chapter in Manchester United's history."

Rooney signed from Moyes's Everton for £30m in 2004 and has since played 430 games for United. His tally of 208 goals is 41 short of Bobby Charlton's all-time club goalscoring record.
