Rooney: plans to play for another 10 years

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has warned Premier League defenders that he plans to keep terrorising them for the next decade. Rooney made his Premier League debut for Everton against Tottenham 10 years ago when he was aged just 16 and fittingly he will kick off United’s domestic campaign with a return to Goodison Park on Monday. With four Premier League titles, a Champions League winners’ medal and numerous individual accolades to show for his time at United, Rooney is well established as one of the best strikers in the world. But the 26-year-old insists there is still much more to achieve and he plans to keep playing at the highest level for another decade. “It’s great to have played in the Premier League for 10 years,” Rooney said. “It’s an exciting league and I still feel exactly the same about my football as I did when I made my debut. It does feel like a long time ago, though. “I’m still fairly young. I feel young anyway. I just hope I can play for another 10 years and have as much enjoyment as I did in my first 10.”
