cavani deal done...

Arsenal have made a £20million bid for Wayne Rooney.

The Gunners have fired the first shots in a bidding war that is sure to spark a ­response from ­Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has Rooney at the top of his ­Chelsea wish-list, and is ­expected to make a ­counter-bid in an effort to beat Arsene Wenger to the 27-year-old’s signature.

But senior United sources last night insisted that ­Rooney is not for sale.

New United boss David Moyes will meet Rooney this week to discuss the Arsenal bid and his future. United decide whether to sell Rooney to a Premier League rival - or hope that clubs like Paris St Germain and Monaco make a bid.

Rooney has two years left on his £250,000-a-week deal and any new offer would have to include a testimonial given that he is approaching a decade of service with the champions.

But first Rooney wants assurances from Moyes about his role in the United team.

Rooney refutes Sir Alex Ferguson’s claim that he asked for a transfer towards the end of last season.

He did voice his frustration to Ferguson about being instructed to operate in a variety of positions following Robin van Persie’s arrival at the club.

And he was also angry about suggestions that he had allowed his physical condition to drop.

Moyes is still to meet the player he gave an Everton debut to at the age of 16 to talk about his future.

But those negotiations will begin this week and Arsenal’s opening gambit will add to an already potentially explosive mix.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to bring Fernando Torres to the Emirates, write Dean Jones and Dave Kidd of the Sunday People .

And Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is ready to let the Spaniard leave.

The shock Gunners move comes as Blues insiders claim Mourinho considers only FIVE of the Chelsea squad are certain starters for the new season.

Spanish wizard Juan Mata and Brazil defender David Luiz are NOT among the five – and could also be waving farewell to the Premier League this summer.

But it’s news of Arsenal’s move for striker Torres – who is wanted at the Emirates along with Real Madrid star Gonzalo Higuain – that will create shockwaves.

The ambitious Gunners board are desperate for star signings after years of letting their biggest names leave.

Torres, on duty in Brazil at the Confederations Cup, is not sure if he figures in Chelsea’s plans. He will speak to Mourinho this week – and Arsenal will move fast if he gets the thumbs-down.

Their main target is still Argentinian front-man Higuain, but Torres and Wayne Rooney are on the radar .

Luiz and Mata are also sweating on Mourinho’s call and with the returning Blues boss expected to tell Luiz he is no longer a starter Barcelona will be waiting in the wings.

And Mourinho is thought to prefer Oscar in the No.10 role supporting a main striker, believing the Brazilian is a more attacking threat than Mata.

Only five Blues stars are certain starters for the coming season – Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard and Oscar.

That means Mourinho will try to bring in six players before the transfer window closes – and he knows that a £35million fee from Barca for Luiz could help fund new recruits.

Brazilian star Hulk of Zenit St Petersburg, Mario Gomez of Bayern Munich and AC Milan hitman Stephan El Shaarawy are all on Mourinho’s wishlist – along with Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko.
