It was previously reported that Chelsea were planning to make another bid in their pursuit of Wayne Rooney, and as of last night they are prepared to make their third bid of about £28million after already have had two of their previous efforts snubbed.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has not given up his pursuit to add a new striker to his ranks as he said: "We will keep trying because when the market is open official bids are not forbidden. You try because nobody forbids you to try.
"We have conditions to try to improve our team with one more player. But we do have a Plan B and a Plan C."
On whether Rooney would face Chelsea at Old Trafford on Monday Mourinho said: "I have no idea whether he will play against us or not."
Mourinho previously said he'll continue his pursuit for Rooney until the transfer window closes, showing dedication to making the striker his newest edition.
"We will try until the last day to add a new player to the squad a striker but in this moment every striker has a club every striker belongs to somebody and I don't think it's ethical that I name players that belong to other clubs" said Mourinho following Chelsea's 2-0 defeat of Hull on his return to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
"We don't try like many clubs do to go around and try to influence players to behave in a certain way.
"If we have to make a bid we make it in an official way we don't speak to players we speak to clubs."
