Last summer, Chelsea made every possible attempt to lure Man United striker Wayne Rooney to London but couldn't succeed.
Since then, Rooney has been in fine form and scoring regularly in the absence of hit man Robin Van Persie. As soon as the January transfer window opened, there have been reports of Chelsea preparing 30 million bid for Rooney.
Ed Woodward will soon be opening negotiations with Wazza's agent over renewing his contract which runs until 2015. After failing to acquire several transfer targets in the summer, Woodward is under extreme pressure and he will make every possible attempt to stop Rooney from joining their title rivals.
Since the arrival of Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea haven't look very confident. Obviously, they are struggling with scoring goals and they need a goal scoring machine and Rooney fits the bill perfectly. Moreover, Mourinho has been a long admirer of Wayne Rooney and he will test United's resolve in keeping their star striker.
I believe Rooney will prefer to stay at United and continue with his great form to achive more trophies in the long run. What do you think? Will Chelsea's new bid unsettle Rooney?
