IN today's Rumour Mill, Manchester United boss David Moyes declares star striker Wayne Rooney is not for sale, while The Sun reports Thiago Alcantara will join the Red Devils on a massive five-year deal.
ROONEY'S NOT FOR SALE: MOYES
Sydney-bound Manchester United manager David Moyes is insisting star striker Wayne Rooney will not be sold by the Premier League champions.
However, in his first press conference since taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson, Moyes admitted he was unable to say whether Rooney was happy to stay at Old Trafford.
Rooney has been linked with moves to Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris St-Germain, but Moyes said the England international was "not for sale".
"He's a Manchester United player, he will remain a Manchester United player," said Moyes, whose United side meets the A-League All-Stars at ANZ Stadium on July 20.

ALCANTARA A RED DEVIL?
Pictures of Thiago Alcantara wearing Barcelona's new home and away strips have been culled by the La Liga champions, suggesting the star Spanish midfielder is on his way to Manchester United, according to The Sun.
A five-year deal worth more than $A28.75 million is close to being finalised between United and the 22-year-old, who wants to play more often in a bid to be chosen in Spain's squad for next year's World Cup in Brazil.
The Sun is also reporting that Thiago's father Mazinho, a 1994 World Cup winner with Brazil, has put his Barcelona restaurant up for sale, further indicating that a move to England is just around the corner.
BENITEZ WANTS DZEKO
The Sun is also reporting that Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko is wanted by new Napoli boss Rafa Benitez as a replacement for ace Uruguay attacker Edinson Cavani.

With Cavani set to move to Paris St-Germain, Benitez wants to strengthen his forward line as Napoli bid to end Juventus's reign at Serie A champions.
But with Juventus having already bought Carlos Tevez from Manchester City, the English giants may be reluctant to sell Dzeko.
That is, of course, unless new City manager Manuel Pellegrini can lure a big name to England.
Pellegrini also wanted Cavani, but is likely to settle for Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, whose $A32 million move to Manchester City is tipped to be completed this week, according to The Daily Mail.
GUNNERS PULL TRIGGER ON HIGUAIN
Arsenal's purchase of Gonzalo Higuain is almost complete, with The Daily Express reporting that the Argentine attacker has flown to London to sign a $A164,000-a-week, three-year deal.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was forced to up the ante in his bid to sign the 25-year-old Real Madrid forward and it seems to have paid off.
Juventus had also been interested in Higuain, but instead opted for fellow Argentine Tevez.
MOURINHO STILL CHASING DE ROSSI
Chelsea will have to pay Daniele De Rossi more than $9 million a year, after tax, if they want to prize the Italian star away from Roma, according to The Daily Mirror.
New Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho tried unsuccessfully to get De Rossi when he was in charge at Inter and Real Madrid, but this time seems more confident of snaring the 29-year-old midfielder.
The Mirror is also reporting that Mourinho wants to bring Real Madrid's German midfielder Sami Khedira to Stamford Bridge.
AMBROSINI JOINS FIORENTINA
De Rossi's fellow Italian midfielder Massimo Ambrosini has turned down the chance to move to England, with the former AC Milan star rejecting West Ham to stay in Italy to join Fiorentina.
