In the wake of Sir Alex Ferguson's resignation as Manchester United manager, the club has reacted to rumours about Wayne Rooney's future at the club by insisting that the England striker is "not for sale".
Reports have emerged overnight that Rooney had informed Sir Alex of his desire to leave the club in an informal conversation two weeks ago.
The story threatens to derail Rooney's reunion with his former manager at Everton, David Moyes, who has officially taken over at Old Trafford.
