Although Mourinho has raised the prospect of a third bid for Wayne Rooney following the game,
Manchester United have made it clear that he will not be sold. Moyes has dismissed the possibility of the player’s omission against his suitors, revealing that he has a “good chance” of making his starting XI.
“Wayne has got a good chance of playing,” Moyes said. “He’s got a good chance of playing against Chelsea, a good chance of starting.”
Rooney, who returned to United duty following injury with a substitute appearance against Swansea City last Saturday, has made it clear to Moyes and United that he wishes to leave Old Trafford following the breakdown of his relationship with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
With Rooney unsettled and seeking a new challenge, Chelsea manager Mourinho has lodged two unsuccessful bids of £20 million and £30  million for the 27-year-old this summer in an effort to tempt United into a sale.
Senior figures at United are bracing themselves for further attempts at destabilising Rooney and Moyes’ team from Chelsea and Mourinho ahead of the game, but Moyes is understood to have no concerns over Rooney’s state of mind should he be selected.
