Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney insists there is "no reason" for him to want to move away from Old Trafford. Financial figures released earlier this month revealed United would have made a loss in 2009 had it not been for the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
Rooney has reportedly attracted interest from both Madrid and Barcelona, but has reiterated to both Spanish giants that he has no plans to leave the Premier League champions.
Quoted in several Sunday newspapers, the 24-year-old said: "This is my club. I'm very happy here.
"My family live 30 minutes away. I'm perfectly happy and there is no reason to play my football anywhere else. Manchester United are the biggest club in the world."
Rooney has two-and-a-half years remaining on his Red Devils deal, with reports suggesting talks will soon get under way over a new four-year contract.
The England frontman has netted 21 goals in all competitions this season, but claims even he is sometimes happy to avoid boss Alex Ferguson.
"There are days when I don't want to see the manager," he said. "He can be fierce at times. Even after we have won 2-0 or 3-0, and the lads are laughing and joking and thinking they've played well, he sometimes comes in and lets loose. I'm left thinking: 'What's wrong?'
"Our dressing room is not a nice place to be when we lose. He's a perfectionist."
Rooney admits he has not enjoyed the best relationship with Everton boss David Moyes since making the switch to United from his boyhood club in 2004.
"Things haven't been good between us," he said. "I've said a few bad things in the past about him but, when I look back, I see what he did for me. He helped make me the player I am today."
Of his early days at Goodison Park, he reflected: "I was always an Everton fan and Duncan Ferguson was a big hero of mine.
"As a young lad, I even wrote to him when he was in jail. It came as a surprise when, one day, I got a letter back from him. Then, a few years later, I was playing alongside him.
"Duncan and Alan Stubbs were a big help to me when I was a young player at Everton. The club is still a big part of my life and my family's life, but I'm a Manchester United player and I give my all for them."
United chief executive David Gill, meanwhile, has stressed Rooney is not for sale at any price.
Gill told BBC Radio Five Live: "I'm very, very confident in saying that unless Alex agreed to it, we would not accept an offer for a player that we wanted to keep - regardless of the value.
"From my own personal perspective, and Alex's, we have no doubt in saying that they (United's owners, the Glazer family) would support whatever we require from a team perspective."
He added: "Wayne has a contract through until 2012.
"He has gone on record to say he wants to stay and we want him to stay.
"I'm sure (a new deal) will be addressed in the close season. We hope that would be the case as we want to put him on a new, long-term contract. He's 24 and got the best years of his life ahead of him.
"Very few players, particularly UK-based players, want to leave Manchester United."
