Rooney confirmed he wants to leave Manchester United Wednesday, October 21, 2010, saying he had decided to quit Old Trafford because the club could no longer attract top players. One day after Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson revealed Rooney had vowed not to sign a new contract, the 24-year-old superstar broke his silence by claiming his move was not motivated by money.
