Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney
has arrived at the Manchester United training ground, with doubts continuing
over his future according to reports .
Rooney drove
into the Carrington training complex around 9am, and is set to continue
receiving treatment for a hamstring injury, which prompted his early return
from their pre-season tour.
United manager David Moyes, who is in Australia on the latest leg of the club's Far East tour made a public appearance in Sydney on Thursday - but refused to be drawn on the future of the England striker.
The 27-year-old
- who is reportedly "angry and confused" at his treatment by United -
was the subject of a bid from Chelsea earlier this week - something confirmed
by Jose Mourinho at a press conference on Wednesday.
"Chelsea
is interested in this player, made a bid, and what we did, we did
officially," Mourinho said.
"The bid
is there. The club knows we want the player, the player has to know we made a
bid for him.
"We want
the player, we made the bid and now it is up to Man United and we respect their
decision."

"Now we
have nothing more to say. We want the player, we made the bid and now it is up
to Man United and we respect their decision.
"Now I
keep doing what I'm doing, working with my players, trying to improve my
players, and we'll see what happens. Now he's with Man United, not with us.
"From me
no more comments with respect to Man United, my colleague (United manager)
David Moyes and my players."
Mourinho also
denied that any Chelsea players were offered to United in part-exchange for
Rooney, adding: "We don't want to make public the bid but it is just a
certain amount of money and it doesn't involve players or players in the
possibility of negotiation.
"No Juan
Mata, no David Luiz."
Since taking
charge at Old Trafford, Moyes has been adamant that Rooney is not for sale and
he said recently: "Unless I was speaking Double Dutch last week, we said
Wayne Rooney is not for sale.
"It's hard
to keep repeating myself but I will. Wayne is a Manchester United player and it
will remain that way."
