SPORTS: Manchester United have had no bids for Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney is injured and could be out for up to six weeks
Manchester United have not received any bids for Wayne Rooney, according to Sky sources.
Recent media reports have speculated the United skipper could be destined for the Chinese Super League as a marquee signing this summer.
With the February 26 transfer deadline day fast approaching for the CSL, a string of big name players have been linked to moves to China.

Already a number of high-profile players have opted for a big money move to China, with the biggest outlay so far being the £38m that Jiangsu Suning spent to sign Shakhtar Donetsk forward Alex Teixeira on February 5.
The Brazilian's big-money move to the Far East broke the CSL transfer record for the third time in the space of just 10 days after Jackson Martinez and Ramires had joined Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning for £31.5m and £21m respectively.
Other transfers to have caught the eye this window include former Arsenal forward Gervinho's £13.5m move from Roma to Hebei China Fortune and Fredy Guarin's £9.75m switch from Inter Milan to Shanghai Shenhua.
Total spending this transfer window by the Chinese clubs broke the £200m barrier earlier this week with PSG forward Ezequiel Lavezzi's signing by Hebei China Fortune.
The CSL clubs are each allowed up to five foreign players in their squads - which must include one from the Asian Football Confederation - but can only field four at any one time.
