Rooney turns 30 in October and, whilst he's looking for silverware with both United and England (yes, England), he also wants to write his own name into history.
"My personal goals are to perform for my club and country to the best of my ability, and to make sure I’m the best captain I can be. I’ve always set my standards as high as possible and that hasn’t changed. I want to help both Manchester United and England win trophies and next year I will have the chance to do that.
"I still have personal targets of becoming the all time leading goal scorer for both England and Manchester United, that’s something that is still in my mind but the main priority will be to help both my club and country perform the best they possibly can."
And what about big Mr Van Gaal?
"I’ve really enjoyed working with the manager and have learned a lot from him, his will to win and his attention to detail are second to none. In terms of training sessions, every session means something, even if it’s a little game, he wants the team who he is working with to win and he’s not happy if they don’t.
"His knowledge of the game is incredible, prior to games or post game analysis, he picks up on everything and nothing goes unnoticed. He’s also great to work with, in training and match days he’s very serious but he’s also very approachable if the players need to talk to him, he’s genuinely a nice guy."Explore more on these topics:
