In that interview with the Washington Post, Wayne Rooney stated, “I am slightly disappointed and frustrated there has been no contact for two months. We asked about a new deal. We can sit down and talk about it. We haven’t heard back.
“Either way, I can take whatever the situation is. I was hoping we would have, either way, at least spoken about it. That hasn’t been the case. That’s frustrating because, either way, I’d rather know what’s the plan because we have to plan for next season. We need to do it earlier rather than later. The fact we haven’t heard back is probably signaling one thing, but I’m sure they’ll have their reasons for that. So, I’ll wait and see.”
When referring to his family the former Everton striker stated, “Of course, you miss the kids and you miss your wife, but it’s been as good as it can be. I’ve been settled here. The family has been settled at home. It hasn’t been an issue at all.”
As a player Rooney prematurely terminated his DC United in 2020 contract due a coaching opportunity and missing his family in England.
