Title: Rooney Tight-Lipped On Manchester United Future
Post by: Folami David on Aug 18, 2013, 01:20 PM
Unsettled striker Wayne Rooney refused to discuss his future at Manchester United in his first public comments since he was linked with a move to Chelsea.
.
The 27-year-old made his first appearance for United this season as a substitute in their 4-1 win at Swansea City on Saturday, laying on second-half goals for Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck.
.
However, a picture that was circulated widely on Twitter showed that he did not celebrate with his teammates after Van Persie's goal put United 3-0 up, fuelling speculation he remains concerned about his Old Trafford future.
.
United have rejected two bids for Rooney from Chelsea during the close season, but he was reluctant to comment on their approaches.
.
Quizzed about his future by Sunday newspaper reporters after England's 3-2 friendly win over Scotland on Wednesday, he said: "I am here to talk about England."
.
Rooney missed United's entire pre-season campaign with hamstring and shoulder injuries but played for the first 66 minutes against Scotland before his second-half cameo at Swansea.
.
He admitted that he needs to get more playing time behind him in order to return to top form.
.
"You are always looking forward to a good pre- season," Rooney said.
.
"It's important you do that, but I had the injury to my hamstring and the injury to my shoulder so it's disappointing.
.
"But I've had to deal with it and I have been working hard to try to get myself fit again.
.
"I've missed pre-season with a couple of injuries but I played a few minutes (against Scotland) and hopefully I can kick on now."
