- Wayne Rooney is reportedly 'angry and confused' over United's comments.- Chelsea and Arsenal are both interested in signing Rooney.
Wayne Rooney looks almost certain to quit Manchester United before the start of the season after revealing his anger at the way the club have considered his future.
Chelsea and Arsenal are both keen to take the England striker, who is reportedly both 'angry and confused' at his treatment after comments from new United boss David Moyes.
Moyes had said Rooney is key to the squad - in the event of Robin van Persie being injured.
According to Sky Sports, he feels he has nothing to prove at United after nine seasons, contrary to media reports and United's message.
A source close to the situation has highlighted Rooney's unhappiness.
As far as the 27-year-old is concerned, he is at the peak of his career and has no intention of playing second fiddle to anyone, or being reduced to the ranks of becoming a squad player.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho spoke last week regarding his interest in Rooney, saying: 'He is a player I like very much but I can’t say much more. He is fast and direct and I like him. But he is a Manchester United player.'
On Tuesday he was willing to speak about the 27-year-old when he told BBC Sport: 'If Wayne is a second choice for Man United, then the national team will be affected.'
'This is a period when the big clubs and their managers are connected with everything,' Mourinho said. 'Until August 31, that’s the oldest story in football, rumours and rumours. At the end, something comes true."
