Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is satisfied with his season.

His stunning form means United have barely registered the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who left to Real Madrid last summer, and Rooney is expecting more of the same next year.

He told the People: "I've been disappointed with the last month of the season with injuries but overall I am more than happy with the number of goals I have scored this season.

"The manager told me he would be playing me more up front and I knew that with Ronaldo and (Carlos) Tevez leaving I would have to score more goals.

"To score so many this time was fantastic - but it's still not my best season. I once scored 76 in a season when I was 11.

"But it's my best as a professional and I know the expectation will be there for me to do it again next season."
