Rooney: Handing in transfer request at Manchester United was the biggest mistake of my career

Posted Image

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has stated that the biggest regret of his career to date was when he asked to leave the club in 2010 due to what he perceived was a lack of ambition.

Rooney has admitted that he felt frustrated at the direction that the club was taking around that time, which coupled with his own injury problems and lack of form only served to cloud his judgement over his future, something he has since seen in a different light.

"In September 2010 my ankle puts me on the sidelines. I get frustrated with myself, my game, my injury, and everything around me. I'm stuck in a cycle of bad form but I can't get out of it. And that's when I make the biggest mistake of my football career," Rooney recalls in his new autobiography currently being serialised in the Daily Mirror.

"In October, I release a statement which publicly questions my happiness at Old Trafford. Am I better off elsewhere?
"Everyone makes a fuss. There are discussions inside United to sort out the issue, people outside United chuck their opinions around, but the thing is, nobody really knows what's going on in my life.

"None of them understand where I am in my career. They don't know where my head's at.
"The only person who really knows what's going on in there is me, but even I'm not sure what I want."

After discussions with manager Sir Alex Ferguson, though, Rooney performed a dramatic U-turn and he went on to explain how the 70-year-old boss convinced him to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

"Then the manager has his say. 'Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you have in your own field. And it never really works that way'," he explained.

"He's saying the grass isn't always greener, and he's right.
"I like what's in my field. I'm wrong. United want the same as me: trophies, success, to be the best."

Probably along the lines of "Well done for scoring twice as many goals as Arsenal so far this season"

Man Utd will soon find out that it's not the attack that wins you titles but rather the defence

Well it's a good job City and United are both far better than Arsenal at the back too.

Man Utd's strong defence won the title on many occassions over the past few years and it was your home record that won it in 10/11

Do you mean, did Rooney say it? Because I've heard that expression countless times.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

That cow quote is from this fantastic performance from Fergie.

So we're well aware you need a strong attack and defence?

City have much better defenders than Arsenal. They've looked suspect so far but they're top players and will get better.

United have their best defender back after a year out injured. He needs to get match fitness back and bulk up again. Rio was back from injury last game and improved in the second half.

In other words, both our defences will get better, whilst United's attack should only get better too as Kagawa and RVP settle fully.

Gutted for Arsenal.
