Rooney admits: 'I've been settled all summer' at Man Utd

Wayne Rooney says he felt settled at Manchester United during the summer.

The 27-year old England international was being heavily linked with a transfer to Chelsea but remained at Old Trafford and has since revealed that he felt good about his situation in the recent pre-season.

"To be honest, I've been settled all summer," he said. "I really have been happy all summer. From the outside looking in, it might not have seemed like it, but I have been settled.

"My wife had a new child and I'm just delighted to be back playing and injury-free. I've got my head down and worked hard. I've been focused and I've been wanting to prove to people that I am a top player. That's what I've really tried to do."

Regarding a new contract, Rooney added: "You can see I'm playing and I'm happy in my football. I'll have more discussions with the club and we'll see what happens from there."
