Wayne Rooney: 'My football did the talking'

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says that his improved performance against Crystal Palace had nothing to do with his new contract.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has insisted that he let his football do the talking during the 2-0 win away to Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

Rooney scored his side's second goal the day after signing a new £300,000-a-week deal with United.

"We moved the ball well, maybe could have created more chances," BBC Sport quotes Rooney as saying. "We controlled the game and knew once we scored the goal we could see the game out. It was a great three points.

"Whether I signed a new deal or not, I always give 100%. The deal was important. It has more or less been agreed for a month just the fine details needed finishing off. Thankfully it is done.

"I have let my football do the talking. I am happy and settled."

United moved above Everton up to sixth in the Premier League table.
