audacious bid for Wayne Rooney later
this week.
The Gunners have privately been given encouragement that Manchester United could be willing to sell them England’stalisman in the last week of the window despite their public insistence that he is not for sale at any price.United are now determined not to sell Rooney to Chelsea, whose manager Jose Mourinho has given the striker until Wednesday at the latest to force through a move to Stamford Bridge.
However, the Premier League champions are believed to be open to a £25 million-plus offer for the player from Arsenal, who theydo not regard as a fellow title challenger. Arsene Wenger is poised to make his move at the end of the week if, as expected, the Londoners secure qualification for the group stages of the Champions League by overcoming Fenerbahce at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday after winning 3-0 in the first leg in Istanbul six days ago
