Premier League club Manchester United have tried to ignore Chelsea's interest for their striker Wayne Rooney by writing a letter starting with 'Dear Roman,' aimed to block a new bid.

According to the Mirror, United have turned down two offers for unsettled Rooney from the Roman Abramovich-owned Londoners and are expected to also turn down a third.

Chief executive Woodward hopes that the letter, which asks Chelsea not to make any future bids and to stop making comments on Rooney, while spelling out United have no intention of selling the England forward, would see an end to the summer-long transfer saga, the report said.

 

The two clubs will play each other in a match at Old Trafford on August 26.
