Manchester United have rejected an offer from Chelsea for Wayne Rooney and insist the striker is not for sale.

Chelsea confirmed making a bid for the 27-year-old but denied offering cash plus a player, either Juan Mata or David Luiz, in part exchange.

Sources close to United indicated the Blues had offered £10m plus either Mata or Luiz for the England star.

Rooney has reiterated his desire to leave United after manager David Moyes said he was not his number one striker.

Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

10m + mata is more worth than Rooney to be honest.

United would have to be retarded not to take that bid.

how is it retarded, it's best to hold out and try get more from chelsea o.o

if they're willing to offer mata or luiz then they want him quite badly, so they are willing to offer more

Nani set for Manchester United stay
The Portugal international will be offered a lucrative contract extension at Old Trafford after manager David Moyes made clear that he regards the winger as central to his plans
EXCLUSIVE
By Duncan Castles

David Moyes will keep hold of Nani at Manchester United after convincing the winger that his future lies at Old Trafford, Goal can reveal.

The 26-year-old has been told that the new manager regards him as central to his plans for United's first team and will underline that importance with a lucrative contract extension.

While the exact details of Nani's new deal have still to be clarified, the winger is said to be delighted with Moyes' commitment to offer him more playing time following an injury-hampered campaign in which he made just 10 Premier League appearances last term, the lowest total of his six seasons as a United player.

11/4 Nani is 11/4 with Paddy Power to score as Man Utd beat A-League All-Stars on Saturday
Nani was deeply frustrated with both his lack of playing time last season as well as what the wide man perceived as Sir Alex Ferguson's lack of trust in him, telling friends that he did not want to see out the final year of his Old Trafford contract.

Goal's special report back in March revealed that Nani was part of a group of players, including Antonio Valencia, Chicharito, Anderson and Anders Lindegaard, who then manager Sir Alex Ferguson was prepared to offload while Galatasaray were known admirers before giving up their pursuit after a failed £6 million bid.

Premier League rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City all also explored the possibility of a move for Nani while the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Zenit, who were ready to invest £35m on a transfer a year ago only for United to refuse to sell, were also keen.

Convincing Nani to re-commit himself to United represents a major coup for new manager Moyes, albeit one that risks criticism after the former Sporting Lisbon star's turbulent 2012-13 campaign.

The winger was prevented from flying to Asia and Australia for the first leg of United's pre-season tour by the after-effects of a nose operation but he is due to begin training under Moyes this week.
