Wayne Rooney will not hand in a transfer request at Manchester United, but is said to have unresolved issues with his club.

The problems are thought to be where he plays in the team, and why Sir Alex Ferguson said he had submitted a formal transfer request last season.

Chelsea have had two bids for the striker rejected.

Manager Jose Mourinho says he wants movement on a deal in the next couple of days or they will move on to other transfer targets.
