Forward Wayne Rooney told about the reasons for leaving England.
Rooney left Everton this summer and moved to DC United.
"At the end of last season in Everton I was told that the club would be happy if I left. And I still can not understand for what reason, because I was the team's top scorer. And this despite the fact that I played almost the entire season in midfield, "Rooney said in an interview with ESPN.
"Then I told the leadership that they would tell me directly. And I was given everything clearly to understand that I do not need Everton. Then I finally realized that leaving the club is the right decision ".
Earlier it was reported that Rooney will earn $ 13 million a year in the US.
