Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney insists he wasn't dumped by Coca Cola.
The United and England striker claimed the termination of the agreement had nothing to do with the controversies that have dogged him this season.
"I spoke to Coke at the end of last season about signing a new deal," Rooney told the talkSPORT.
"Obviously, with the Olympics coming up, they wanted a bit more of my time to do commercial appearances, and I just didn't have the time to do it.
"So we both went our separate ways and this all happened at the end of last season, so I haven't been with Coca-Cola since 2010."
