Sir Alex Ferguson has told Manchester United fans he wants to draw a line under last week's "traumatic" saga with Wayne Rooney.
The England striker said he wanted to leave the club, only to change his mind.
Rooney signed a new five-year deal on Friday just two days after saying he wanted to move elsewhere.
Ferguson said in the match programme for Tuesday night's Carling Cup match with Wolves: "It's been a traumatic time for Manchester United and no doubt everyone is as relieved as I am that the situation with Wayne Rooney has been resolved.
"We're delighted that he'll remain with us and he'll play a key part in our challenge for silverware on all fronts - both this season and in the years to come.
"Once the news came out that Wayne wanted to leave, the publicity and impact that had, and the response it generated, showed how big Manchester United is and that resonated with him quite a lot.
"Wayne apologised to me and the players and it's now time to draw a line under last week and face the challenges that lie ahead.
"We have a good squad, the unity and spirit is fine and the structure of the club is good. There is nothing wrong with United.
Wayne Rooney, an iconic superstar with everton football club since the age of 10, moved to manchester united 7 years later at the age of 17, and also a full international debut for england at the age of 17, wayne rooney is an england icon for english football. with many medals won in his short yet successful career, at the age of 25 he has won everything that any football player would dream of and could easily retire.
With a club such as manchester united so supportive of wayne rooney, he had his best season yet ever in the season of 2009-10 , scoring 34 goals in 44 appearances, meaning an average of 0.77 goals/match. with mancehster united so close of winning the league title and champions league , they ended up with only one trophy which is the carling cup medal. was that a reason on why he requested to leave? a player whom ferguson had sticked by the start of the season with his poor form , a mere 1 goal in 7 appearances, a far cry from his 0.77 strike rate just the previous season before.
Many people believed that now as players are powering over clubs over via their agents, rooney is a classic example of which his agent is forcing a best deal out of manchester united instead of just securing its long term future with its club, rooney is claimed to have been saying he wanted to leave due to the lack of united's big name signings and long term ambitions but it seems to be not true,
As ferguson has breeded a long list of legendary players with a small amount of money, with a huge return of trophies such as the treble won by united in 1999, with players such as paul scholes, beckham and ryan giggs, and in 2007 with cristiano ronaldo, whom costed the club a mere 12.5 million pounds, has seen him leave for real madrid in a world record 86million pounds deal, which shows that with recent purchases such as javier hernadez, bebe and chris smalling(all below the age of 20) for about 20 million pounds in total, ferguson is about to breed his new class of youth to glory and rooney is not certain about that.
I personally believe that rooney has a passion of football but however, money has blinded him and i believe his poor form is due to his contract's negotiation and that with this saga putted behind, rooney will find back his best form and be a threat to all the defenders playing against him, but however, his poor form will continue if his mind is stuck with the money that other clubs are willing to offer him and let it affect his form.
