Moyes reiterates Wayne Rooney not for sale

SYDNEY (AP) — Manchester United manager David Moyes has reiterated he has no plans to sell Wayne Rooney as Premier League rival Chelsea maintains its pursuit of the England striker.

Speaking Friday ahead of United's pre-season friendly against an A-League All Stars team, Moyes said "the club's position has not changed."

Rather than shedding players he said the league champions are looking at more signings, promising more news on the possible recruitment of Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas in the next 24 hours.

United have already rejected one Chelsea offer for Rooney, but new Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho appears desperate to land the forward and new deal is expected to be tabled soon.

The 27-year-old Rooney has pushed for a move from United since expressing frustration about his lack of playing time.
