Rooney in moyes showdown talk Insist on Chelsea move

WAYNE ROONEY

The forward will meet with his manager at Carrington this week and again tell the new Old Trafford boss that he wants to leave the club in order to join Chelsea this summer
David Moyes will this week come face to face with Wayne Rooney for the first time in nearly a month as the pair prepare for crunch talks over the forward’s Manchester United future.

Rooney, who has been in rehabilitation at the club’s Carrington training base following a hamstring injury sustained two days into United’s pre-season tour of Asia and Australia, has agreed in principle to join Chelsea for £200,000-a-week. Moyes, however, insists that the 27-year-old is not for sale under any circumstances and the Premier League champions have dismissed an offer of £20 million from the Stamford Bridge outfit.
Now, the pair will sit down for talks this week. Moyes is set to reiterate that he wants the England star to remain a United player, while Rooney remains intent on leaving.
