Wayne Rooney has reportedly backed himself into a corner at Manchester United, where his teammates are beginning to turn against him according to David Maddock and Alan Nixon of the Daily Mirror.

The wantaway forward continues to court the attention of Chelsea, who saw a second bid rejected on Monday, and the disruption to United’s preseason preparations is beginning to anger some of the club’s veterans. Maddock and Nixon provide the details:

Sources close to the Old Trafford club have explained there is an increasing antagonism towards the England striker, with senior players “unhappy” at his stance, which they see as a blatant attempt to strengthen his own position without any regard for the unsettling effect it is having on the team.

Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra are all named by the Daily Mirror article, while the Daily Star also claims United stars are becoming increasingly unimpressed with Rooney’s behaviour, which is threatening to overshadow Ferdinand’s forthcoming testimonial on August 9.

 
Rooney’s desire to quit Old Trafford was initially revealed at the back end of last season by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and Jose Mourinho has since confirmed he wants the England man at Chelsea.
The tabled fee reached £25 million on Monday but United plan to make the transfer as difficult as possible for Chelsea, who are widely viewed as a major threat to their Premier League crown this season.
A United spokesman addressed Chelsea’s offer, saying in the Daily Mirror: “A bid was received yesterday [Sunday] and immediately rejected. Our position remains that he is not for sale.”
