Wayne Rooney has admitted he is looking to emulate Gary Neville
and Ryan Giggs by remaining at Manchester United for the
long-haul.
The England international already has a contract until 2010 and has
established himself as a key member of the United squad since his
move from Everton at the age of 18.
Now he is looking to the future and admits he cannot see himself
anywhere else but at Old Trafford.
'People say I could now have my pick of clubs but this is where I
want to be,' Rooney told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
'I look at people like Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs and I want to be
here as long as they have. This is a big club and no one I know
ever wants to leave.'
Rooney has had an eventful summer, having made a speedy recovery to
feature in England's World Cup campaign before being sent off as
they crashed out to Portugal.
The 20-year-old will miss England's first two Euro 2008 qualifiers
because of suspension and may be forced to sit out the opening
games of the Premiership season after being red carded in the
friendly defeat to Porto.
However, Rooney admits he is very happy at Old Trafford and he is
targeting a big haul of silverware over the next few seasons.
'I came here because when I was growing up they were the team that
won everything and I believe I can achieve what I want to achieve
here,' Rooney added.
'I want to win everything - the Premiership, the Champions League
and, yes also, the World Cup.'
Rooney's sole winner's medal with United came in last season's
Carling Cup.
