Wayne Rooney- Manchester United to Chelsea
Rooney has had a hugely successful nine seasons at Manchester United, winning several Premier League titles with the club. However, his relationship with officials at the club appear to have soured. He fell out with the clubs previous manager, Sir Alex Ferguson and also reportedly has a testing relationship with the clubs new boss David Moyes. This has all lead to speculation that Rooney could be on his way out of Old Trafford this summer. The striker appears to want a fresh start and he doesn’t feel that he can get that at United. The striker appears to favour a move to Chelsea as it would enable him to work with Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese manager has made Rooney his main transfer target for the rest of the summer and has already submitted two bids for the England international. Both were rejected by United but Mourinho has confirmed that Chelsea will make a third bid for Rooney after the two clubs meet in their Premier League match at Old Trafford. Manchester United are refusing to sell Rooney to one of their main rivals and have told Chelsea that their is no chance of them signing Rooney before the transfer window closes. However, United would entertain selling Rooney to Chelsea if the Blues were willing to sell Juan Mata, who reportedly could be available for a transfer as Mourinho doesn’t rate the Spanish play-maker.
