Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has suggested that he would have lost his desire to play football had he opted to move to the Chinese Super League rather than Everton.
"I need those goals, I need that pressure. That desire to play would have been lost if I'd chosen that other option," Rooney told BBC Sport.
"I knew that coming back to Everton was more pressure - that's what I wanted. I wanted to prove myself again to the Everton fans and to try to help this club move forward and win silverware.
"I think it was the perfect fit for me and hopefully in the next two or three years we can do that."
