English striker Wayne Rooney may have skipped Manchester United's Asian tour and Chelsea's Jose Mourinho could have praised the unsettled star, but the new manager of the Old Trafford giants David Moyes once again made clear on Friday that the striker was not for sale.
According to sport24, Moyes was careful not to be dragged into a row with Mourinho but he showed signs of impatience as he underlined his position that Rooney, who flew home with hamstring injury just hours after arriving in Bangkok, would not be sold.
Moyes said in Thailand that it was hard to keep repeating but he believed that Wayne was a Manchester United player and would remain that.
The new manager will make his debut as manager on Saturday, while Manchester United play against a Singha All-Star XI team.
