Wayne Rooney claims there was only one club he wanted to join once he had
decided to leave Everton in the summer.
decided to leave Everton in the summer.
"A few of the England lads had been saying I should come and join their club but I'd made my mind up that I wanted to play for United if I had the chance.
"I told David Moyes and the chairman first as soon as I got back from my holiday.
They didn't go mad, I think they were expecting it.
"Everton have been brilliant to me and it would have been the easy option to stay there but not everything in life is easy.
"It was probably the toughest decision I've ever had to make in my life.
"But I wanted to leave to further my career and play at a higher level.
"I will always want to know the Everton result after I've played. Hopefully, they
can win most matches."
And on the unfair comparisons with The King he said
"Cantona was a brilliant player. It's flattering to be compared to him because of what he achieved but I've only been playing professionally for two years.
"I've got to prove who I am. There's going to be expectations but I am confident that I can fulfill them.
