Rooney wants longer Man Utd deal
Wayne Rooney
I don't have any regrets whatsoever about joining United

Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney says he wants to extend his contract with Manchester United, even though he is already tied to the club until June 2010.

Rooney signed a six-year deal when he moved from Everton in 2004.

The 20-year-old has developed into a key player for United, but said he is keen to add to the Carling Cup winners' medal he collected last year.

"People say I could now have my pick of clubs but this is where I want to be," Rooney told the Sunday Mirror.

"I want to extend my contract. I don't want to go anywhere else.

"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 said his driving ambition was to add to his medal haul, in order to be recognised as one of the sport's all-time great players.

"I want to win everything - the Premiership, the Champions League and, yes also, the World Cup," he added.

"It might not happen, but that's what my aim is. That's the reason I'm in football."

Rooney's move has coincided with Chelsea's rise, but the England star insisted he wanted to help his team-mates restore United to their former glories.

"I don't have any regrets whatsoever about joining United," he said.

"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.

"There is something that is very special about the club and I want to be part of that for as long as I can."
