MANCHESTER: Wayne Rooney insists there is no chance he would ever walk out on Manchester United. Wayne

England striker Rooney saw Cristiano Ronaldo quit Old Trafford to join Real Madrid in a world-record 80 million pounds deal during the close-season.

But Rooney, who joined United from Everton in 2004, is enjoying life with Alex Ferguson's team too much to consider turning his back on the Premier League champions.

The 23-year-old is United's main attacking threat now Ronaldo has gone and he has responded with a superb start to the season.

Rooney said in The Sun: "I've always said I love this club and, as long as I'm wanted here, I'll play here.

"It's as simple as that. I can't see one reason why I should want to move.

"I've everything I want. My family are just 30 minutes away, I'm settled and I honestly can't see me going anywhere else unless I'm told otherwise by the manager."
