MASHABIKI WA MACHESTER UNITED HILI NDO GUMZO MAJUU.

CHELSEA will have to cough up £80million to grab Wayne Rooney from Manchester United.

The Londoners are on red alert after the Rooney camp last night made it clear their man wants OUT of Old Trafford.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is aware Rooney wants a five-year deal and £200,000 a week to leave the Premier League champs.

In addition to that £52m package, Chelsea would have to stump up £28m for his transfer fee.

Yesterday the Special One claimed Rooney needs to be assured of regular first-team football — or England’s World Cup hopes in Brazil will nosedive.

Rooney, 27, last night ripped into Old Trafford bosses, insisting he was “angry and confused” over comments by new gaffer David Moyes that he would play second fiddle to Dutch hitman Robin van Persie.

After Rooney returned from the club’s Far East tour with a hamstring injury, Moyes said he would be used as an understudy to high-scoring RVP.

At a Bangkok Press conference, Moyes said: “My thought on Wayne is that if for any reason we had an injury to Robin, we are going to need him.”

Mourinho says a Rooney who spends his time on the bench is no good to England chief Roy Hodgson.

The Chelsea boss said: “If Wayne is a second choice for Man United, the national team will be affected.”

Moyes insists Rooney is not for sale. But it is increasingly unlikely that the pair will be able to patch up their relationship after this latest explosive fallout.

United will not open new contract talks, despite him having just two years left on his current deal.

And chief executive Ed Woodward said: “I’m not sitting down with any player on an extension and there’s no trigger date in the diary.

“Would we be afraid to run a contract down? Of course not.”
