The striker ended an intense week of speculation about his future lunchtime when it was confirmed he had agreed a new five-year contract with the Old Trafford outfit.
Rooney will become the highest-paid player in United history, set to earn around £150,000-a-week, having received assurances from the Glazer family about the future direction of the club.
But he will not be able to assist United on the pitch for a little bit as he spends the next three weeks recovering from an ankle injury, which was the cause of so much angst in the first place.
The recovery period will probably include the first Manchester derby of the season at Eastlands on November 10.
However, when he does return shortly afterwards, Rooney is determined to shake off the lethargy that has seen his form collapse to the extent that he has not scored a goal in open play since March.
"I certainly can't wait to pull on the red shirt again," he told MUTV.
"I am gutted to be injured. I just want to be out there playing, get back to form and doing what I do best. And I will be back to my best. I have no worries about that."
