Wayne Rooney is ready to sign a new contract with Manchester United.

United ace wants to stay at Old Trafford for life

Wayne Rooney is ready to sign a new contract at Manchester United whenever the club want him to. The 23-year-old moved to Old Trafford in 2004 from Everton in a deal worth more than £20million - but he is already proving one of Sir Alex Ferguson's best ever buys. The fans favourite has three-years left on his current deal, but Rooney wants to spend the rest of his career with United. "I am happy here and I'd sign a new contract at any time," he told the Sunday Telegraph. "I want to stay at this club for the rest of my career. I will sign an extension any time the club wants me to." Rooney has already racked up nearly 250 appearances for the club and he wants to follow in the footsteps of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs - who have just made the 600th and 800th appearances respectively. "If I got anywhere near that I would be really happy," he said.
