United striker committed to cause
Wayne Rooney has reiterated his commitment to Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson, insisting he would be happy never to play under another manager.
Rooney's relationship with Ferguson has again been called into question after he was dropped over Christmas for their game with Blackburn for reportedly missing a club curfew.
A newspaper report subsequently stated that United were ready to listen to offers for Rooney, although the player, club and Ferguson were quick to deny this.
Rooney, though, insists that his respect and desire to play for Ferguson has not diminished.
"Sir Alex is the greatest manager of all time. Of course I would like to play under him for the rest of my career," said Rooney in Zurich, after being named in Fifa's Team of the Year.
"He's a great manager and is a big reason why I joined Manchester United. If I could finish my career playing under Sir Alex then I won't have gone far wrong.
"As I said before he is, in my eyes, the best ever. His success and his trophies speak for themselves. He's an incredible manager and has done so much for football and so much for my game as well.
"His every-day commitment to his job is what makes him stand out.
"He's in before the players every morning and leaves after you. His commitment, his desire to win and his dedication is incredible."
Goal
Rooney was also up for Fifa Goal of the Year, but he missed out to Brazilian sensation Neymar.
Rooney told
the Sun: "I wasn't really disappointed to lose out tonight. To be honest it's the first time I've seen Neymar's goal.
"It was incredible, he beat about six players. It's a great goal so I'm not too bothered."
