ESPN report that Chelsea’s interest in the striker has been undimmed by two rebuffed bids and with a third imminent Rooney is convinced he will soon be making the move to Stamford Bridge.

Rooney’s confident announcement that he will leave the club has reportedly upset several of his teammates, who have pleaded with Rooney to extend his time at Old Trafford.

Rooney has suffered through injury during the pre-season and has not appeared in any of the pre-season friendlies, aside from a behind-closed doors outing against Real Betis.
