Wayne Rooney's New Contract??

Wayne Rooney told to wait on new £120k-a-week Manchester United deal until after World Cup:

Manchester United will not open contract talks with player-of-the-season Wayne Rooney until after the World Cup.

Rooney has two years left on his Old Trafford deal but is keen to discuss a £120,000-a-week extension.

However, United chief executive David Gill has indicated privately the 24-year-old will have to wait until he returns from South Africa with England.
Even though Real Madrid have already declared a firm interest in Rooney, United are so sure he will not have his head turned that they have told his representatives to wait until late July for talks.

Rooney has scored 43 goals for club and country this season and picked up United's player-of-the-year award on Tuesday night.

However, he later told of his disappointment at being second to Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League with one game to go.

Rooney said: 'We shouldn't be losing seven games at this club. Other teams have dropped points as well so it has been an open league.

'We are still with a chance, but we are disappointed with the way we have gone out of competitions.'

United must win at home to Stoke on Sunday and hope Chelsea fail to beat Wigan at Stamford Bridge.

Rooney wins club award treble

The Super of Wayne Rooney:

Wayne Rooney has been named Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for 2010 after a fantastic season for United.

It's the second time he's won the award, as voted for by United fans around the world, following his original success in 2006.

He won by a landslide this year, receiving 83 per cent of the votes cast on ManUtd.com. Patrice Evra and Antonio Valencia were in second and third place respectively.

Rooney is the first Englishman to be named United's Player of the Year since Teddy Sheringham in 2001. Should he retain it in 2011, he'll become only the second man to win it three times, emulating Cristiano Ronaldo (2004, 2007 and 2008).

Wayne's club accolade completes a personal Player of the Year hat-trick for this season, after his peers in the PFA and the nation's top football journalists in the FWA also made him their top man for 2009/10.

He also won a hat-trick of club awards on Tuesday night, collecting the Players' Player of the Year accolade from Sir Alex Ferguson and also the Goal of the Season trophy for his strike on the counter-attack against Arsenal on 31 January.

"I was a bit surprised I got Goal of the Season," Wayne told MUTV. "To win both the players’ and fans’ Player of the Year is a great feeling and it’s something I’m very proud of.” - Rooney
