Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has said that he wants to remain a Premier League player for another 10 years.
The 26-year-old made his league debut for Everton against Tottenham Hotspur on August 17 2002 and he has since scored 144 goals in 318 top-flight appearances.
"It feels like a long time ago," said Rooney. "It's great to have played in the Premier League for 10 years.
"It's an exciting league and I still get just as excited by playing football as I did when I made my debut.
"I just hope I can play for another 10 years and have as much enjoyment as I did in my first 10."
Rooney will return to Goodison Park tonight as United take on the Toffees in their opening game of the new season.
