All the major Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have been chasing the young starlets. Barcelona almost signed Filipe, but their offer was rejected by Benfica who were believing that the youngster would sign up for a long term deal.

United have managed to grab the highly rated duo so that they could add on to their impressive tally of young superstars along with Adnan Januzaj, James Wilson, Tom Lawrence, Jesse Lingard and Michael Keane.

Wayne Rooney signs a four year contract extension with Manchester United

Wayne Rooney celebrated his new contract extension after a brilliant volley against Crystal Palace last night. United picked up their first away win of 2014 with goals from Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Rooney is now fourth on the all time goal scorers list, 42 behind the club legend Sir Bobby Charlton who is leading the chart with 249 goals. Rooney, who has 151 goals from 300 league matches, will go on to become the club ambassador after his retirement as per the terms in his new deal signed recently. 

As per the terms in the new five-and-a-half year contract he will be paid £300,000-a-week and will remain in the No 10 shirt making him the highest paid player ever at United.

Rooney after their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace

United were keen on keeping their best players at the club extending the contracts of Januzaj last October and now Rooney this February. David Moyes responded after their 2-0 victory "We thoroughly deserved it. Wayne's finish was exquisite". He also added saying "We're building a new team and the best players will stay".

According to the Sun "United are convinced that have won the £25 million battle for Germany’s Ilkay Gündogan." which also heated up the chances of Kroos joining United as Moyes himself scouted him during Bayern's 2-0 Champions League victory over Arsenal at Emirates this mid-week.

Moyes also added saying "I can't tell you the amount of phone calls I've had from top players around the world who want to play for Manchester United." and with big names already being linked with United we can expect some new faces this summer at Old Trafford.

Manchester United transfer news: Moyes keen on Juan Mata

Juan Mata is growing increasingly frustrated with him not being able to break into the Mourinho's squad at Chelsea.This could probably open the doors for Manchester United who badly need creativity in the mid-field.The defending champions have registered their first win in 2014 over Swansea last Saturday and Moyes is looking forward to add to his squad before the end of this January. However, the sources claim that United are ready to make a £27m bid for the Spaniard with Bayern Munich also in the race.

Moyes was seen scouting Davide Astori and Arturo Vidal this Sunday and was also interested to bring back Paul Pogba from Juventus. He also got concerns with captain Nemanja Vidic who runs out of contract at the end of the season along with Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand. Evra has already confirmed that he would not be ending his career at Old Trafford due to personal reasons. United look out for a quick replacement in Luke Shaw or Leighton Baines which have not been any success so far.

United are also showing interest to bring the wonder-kid Ever Banega to the Premier League.Barcelona's boss commented ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final clash against Valencia, "He is a fantastic player, really have to concentrate in order to limit Banega's effectiveness".

All eyes on Rooney as its Manchester United vs Chelsea

With just into its second week of the new season, Premier League witnesses the greatest of the rivals, Manchester United and Chelsea taking on each other this Tuesday. Both the teams have new set of managing personnel with Sir Alex Ferguson announcing his retirement in May and handing over the responsibilities to his fellow countrymen David Moyes. Chelsea on the other hand welcome their most successful manager, Jose Mourinho who marks his second coming and promises to be a historical one this time.

With new additions, both teams need to prove their worth in what seems to be a new era for the two giant football clubs. Chelsea has signed Andre Schurrle, Marco van Ginkel and Mark Schwarzer this summer along with Lukaku who returned from his loan move to West Brom last season. He was amongst the goals, scoring 17 for them for Baggies last season. United have signed only one player Varela, a right full back along with Zaha who returned from Crystal Palace to which he was loaned to in January.

Both the clubs need to settle terms with Wayne Rooney, who probably wanted a move to Chelsea at the start of this season. There were rumors that the England striker requested for a transfer and was expecting to leave Old Trafford in early May itself. But Moyes dismissed the claims and answered the press saying "Rooney is not for Sale". Chelsea have already submited two bids for Rooney under £25 million mark which were rejected by United and have already sent a letter to Chelsea not to bid for the England International as he's not for sale.

With a score to settle on  and off the pitch as well Moyes has a challenge going into this game. With injuries to Hernandez, Nani, Young and Rafael, Moyes needs to look up to his young-guns to fire. Moyes played Rooney in the second half against Swansea in which he created two goals for the Red Devils which marked their first win of the new era under David Moyes. All eyes will be on Moyes and Rooney whether he'll make Rooney start or even play against the club to which the striker wants to move to.

All in all this one will be an exciting one for the fans.

Wayne Rooney, Jonny Evans and David De Gea were not a part of the squad which lost to Norwich last night, the good point for United was that Phil Jones was available after his injury and was on the bench.
