Wayne Rooney has agreed a five-and-a-half year deal that will keep him at Manchester United until 2019.

The 28-year-old who has attempted to engineer moves from the club on two previous occasions will pick up a salary worth £300,000 per week.

The England international fell out with Alex Ferguson at the end of last season, although he denied putting in a transfer request with Chelsea waiting in the wings.

But he has become one of the first names on the team sheet under David Moyes and has made 28 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 11 goals.

Rooney had been expected to sign the new deal in recent weeks, but agreement had been held up by negotiations on image rights.

Howeveer Manchester United manager David Moyes refused to comment on speculation in his press conference.
