Wayne Rooney paid £50m ransom to stay at Manchester United
Wayne Rooney has signed a staggering £50 million five-year deal to stay at Manchester United after effectively holding the club to ransom.
Just two days ago Rooney said he had refused to sign a new contract because he was worried about the “future squad”. But last-minute talks involving manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's chief executive David Gill and the club's owners, the Glazer family, persuaded Rooney to stay after his pay was doubled.
The five-year deal is worth about £180,000 a week, making Rooney, who turns 25 on Sunday, the second-best paid footballer in the Premier League after Manchester City's Yaya Touré.
