Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has refused to be drawn on speculation that the club are planning to renew their interest in Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The Blues, who had two bids for the England international rejected last summer, are believed to be considering making an offer to United once again at the end of the season.

However, when probed on reports, Mourinho insisted that he did not want to speak about a player who belongs to another club.

"I don't want to speak about it," Mourinho said in a press conference. "We play Man United in a few days - I don't think it's nice to speak about a Man United player. You have to ask the player and Man United."

Reports have claimed that Rooney will make a decision regarding his future after the World Cup in Brazil this summer.
