(CNN) -- England striker Wayne Rooney has changed his mind and signed a new five-year contract at English Premier League side Manchester United, the club announced Friday.
Rooney said on Wednesday that he wanted to leave the Manchester giants, after complaining they lacked ambition, but has now agreed a deal which ties him to Old Trafford until at least June 2015.
The shock development comes after a day of talks Thursday between manager Alex Ferguson, the club's chief executive David Gill and Rooney's representatives.
Ferguson, admitted he had been "shocked and disappointed" that his star forward wanted to leave the club, but said the club would now "get behind" Rooney after his change of heart.
