Wayne Rooney has denied ever handing in a transfer request at Manchester United.
The United captain claimed that he would not sign a new contract in 2010, and was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea three years later.
"I said [to Sir Alex Ferguson] if you're not going to play me it might be better if I moved on," Rooney said in BBC documentary Wayne Rooney - The Man Behind The Goals.
"But I never put in a transfer request. I don't know why it came out that way."
The 29-year-old scored his 235th goal for United during their 3-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday.
