Rooney has always been a star at Man Utd

         Chelsea have confirmed making a bid for the 27-year-old but denied they would be willing to include either Juan Mata or David Luiz as a make-weight. United rejected the offer on Tuesday night but Chelsea are expected to return with an improved bid.

         Rooney has reiterated his desire to leave United after manager David Moyes said he was not his number one striker.He was quoted as saying that he was angered by the comments made by Moyes. 

        

         The Scot said last week: "Overall, my thought on Wayne is that if for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie we are going to need him." Rooney has expressed his disappointment with his situation to senior figures at the club and insisted he will not accept a squad role behind the Dutchman.United have refused to comment on the latest twist in the saga, with their players in Sydney on the second leg of their pre-season tour. We will have to wait till friday to get the words of Moyes regarding the transfer deal.
