English League is best in world - Rooney

Wayne Rooney has expressed his love of English football and believes he will never play abroad.

The England forward is in his third year with Manchester United and is chasing the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup after the 1-0 defeat of Lyon took his side into the quarter-finals in Europe.

Rather than look to test himself in Serie A or the Primera Liga, however, Rooney insists he is happy at home and believes the Premier League eclipses all domestic competitions.

The 22-year-old said: “The English game has improved so much in the past few seasons.

“We have proved we have the best league in the world which is why we attract the best players in the world.

“It is down to other English players if they decide to play abroad but, for me, English football is the best.

“I love playing here and I’m pretty sure that will never change.”
