Wayne Rooney has agreed a new contract which will keep him at Manchester United until the end of 2019.
The deal, worth a club record £300,000 per week, will make the striker the best-paid player in English football history. It
will be confirmed by the club this afternoon.
Rooney agitated for a move away from Old Trafford last summer when Chelsea were interested in signing him, but as
Telegraph Sport revealed on January 25 Rooney has decided to commit his future to United.
