(CNN) -- Manchester United confirmed Friday that star striker Wayne Rooney has extended his contract with the club. The new deal, which commits the 28-year-old to Old Trafford until June 2019, is reported to be worth Â£300k ($500k) per week. The announcement puts an end to months of speculation about Rooney's future following interest from Jose Mourinho's Chelsea last summer with further bids expected to come at the end of this season. Not any more. Confirmation that Rooney was staying put can be considered a minor victory for former Everton boss David Moyes following a turbulent first season in charge of United after succeeding Alex Ferguson.
