In 2010, Wayne Rooney expressed his desire to leave Manchester United, citing managerial decisions and lack of investment as primary concerns. Despite rampant speculation linking him with Manchester City, Rooney disclosed that actual interest came from Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. He contemplated playing alongside talents like Lionel Messi at Barcelona but ultimately opted to stay with United under a new five-year contract. This decision marked a significant moment, as he remained with United for another seven years, continuing to shape his legacy at the iconic club.
