Manchester United have rejected Chelsea's second bid for Wayne Rooney. |
Manchester United have confirmed a second bid from Chelsea for striker Wayne Rooney has been rejected.
Chelsea made an offer thought to be around British pound 25 million (US$38.5 million) but it was immediately rejected. A United spokesman said: "A bid was received yesterday and immediately rejected. Our position remains that he is not for sale."
The second bid and United's swift response could prompt Rooney to hand in an official transfer request.
Sources close to the Old Trafford club have explained there is an increasing antagonism towards the England striker, with senior players "unhappy" at his stance, which they see as a blatant attempt to strengthen his own position without any regard for the unsettling effect it is having on the team.
