Wayne Rooney is NOT for sale - Moyes

Manchester United manager David Moyes has again told Chelsea that Wayne Rooney is not for sale.

Rooney returned to action when he played for 67 minutes in England's victory over Scotland at Wembley on Wednesday night.

Moyes will wait to assess if the unhappy striker is fit enough to start the season for United at Swansea this weekend, but warned Chelsea that they would be wasting their time with a third bid for Rooney.

'There are no more developments and we don't want any because we've told everybody he's not for sale,' said Moyes.

'I'll need to see how he is when I get back. I'll try and assess him. I watched the game last night and I thought for the 65 minutes he played he did well, he ran around and got himself some fitness.'

Moyes has inherited Sir Alex Ferguson's fall-out with Rooney, and the 27-year-old is known to be concerned over Ferguson's continued influence at Old Trafford in his role as a club director and ambassador.
