Wayne Rooney is ready to miss Liverpool game to be at birth of first child
Wayne Rooney is prepared to miss Manchester United's Premier League showdown with arch rivals Liverpool to attend the birth of his first child.
Rooney and wife Coleen's baby is due on October 25, the day United take on Liverpool at Anfield in a game that could have a huge bearing on the title race.
But Rooney has revealed he will miss United's biggest game of the season - and possibly the Champions League trip to Moscow four days before it - if Coleen goes into labour.
"The baby's due the day we play Liverpool," said Rooney. "If Coleen goes in to have it before then, then I won't go to Moscow because I want to be there at the birth.
"If anything happens around that time then I'm sure I'll stay back. But if everything goes to plan then I'll be playing because that's my job and what I'm paid to do.
"I haven't spoken to the manager about it yet, but I want to be there for the birth of my child."
With United having won their opening two Champions League games, the pressure if off with Rooney likely to be excused the trip to play CSKA Moscow the week his baby is due.
Rooney, who celebrated five years at United this week, claimed marriage and the imminent birth of his first child had seen him mature and given him more perspective on life.
"I've certainly settled down over the last couple of years," said Rooney. "I was still quite young when I signed for United but you realise different things when you get a bit older.
"I think I've changed a lot. When I was at Everton and perhaps in my first year at United, I probably went out a bit more than I should have done.
"I got myself involved in different situations, but these days I don't really go out at all. I try not to put myself in those situations any more.
"These days I enjoy my time with my family in places where I know I've got the right people around me.
"Everywhere I go people recognise me. I suppose you get used to it, but you still need your privacy at certain times."
