Rooney : Why I wanted to leave Manchester United

You can clearly see I’m playing and I’m happy in my football,

David Moyes has come in, he’s playing me up front, and I’m enjoying it.

I’ve had no problem playing out of position in the past, but I’m a forward and I felt I deserved the right to play in my position.

That wasn’t happening.

Naturally I was a bit disappointed and maybe that affected some of the games I played because last season wasn’t my best.

Everyone at the club knew where I wanted to play. Maybe I will play in midfield when I’m a bit older if I have lost my legs a bit but I didn’t want to play there.

I’m not saying I am going to throw my arms up in the air and not do it if we were hanging on a bit in the last 10 minutes of a game if and I got asked to drop back. But there came a point where I had to be a bit selfish for my own career.
