Manchester United legend Gary Neville says his old club would find it difficult to replace Wayne Rooney. Former United defender Neville feels Rooney would be a huge loss if he left Old Trafford and is adamant the 27-year-old cannot be sold to Jose Mourinho's side - unless David Moyes has a superstar signing lined up to bring in.
He told Sky Sports News: "Manchester United can't sell Wayne Rooney to Chelsea football club, unless they bring in a major major signing.
"You've got here absolute gold in Wayne Rooney. You're talking about someone who is proven over six, seven, eight years, to deliver season in, season out.
"Wayne Rooney in this moment in time, from what I know, he'll never drop his standards in training, he'll work his absolute backside off and that's important to know. However, there is something brewing behind the scenes, you can see that.
"Chelsea have made bids for him but Manchester United can't sell him to Chelsea, unless they go and sign (the likes of) Bale and Ronaldo and you think 'okay we can potentially sacrifice somebody', but the importance of Wayne Rooney at Manchester United is absolutely vital.
"Manchester United don't need to sell him in terms of the money. But if they do they have to bring in decent replacements because it'll hard to replace him."
