Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney says he's staying at Old Trafford - and not moving to China in this month's transfer window.

The England international says it's an "exciting time" at the club - after being heavily linked with a move away.

Rooney's agent was in China to speak to potential buyers.

The player says despite interest from other teams, he wants to play a "full part" in Jose Mourinho's side.

His full statement reads: Despite the interest which has been shown from other clubs, for which I'm grateful, I want to end recent speculation and say that I am staying at Manchester United.

I hope I will play a full part in helping the team in its fight for success on four fronts.

It's an exciting time at the club and I want to remain a part of it.''
