Twitter reacted with mostly disbelief to reports that first Chelsea had offered £10m plus Juan Mata or David Luiz for Wayne Rooney and then astonishment that Man Utd had rejected the offer.
Here's some of the best so far.
If United have actually rejected £10m plus Mata, well then I'm angry and confused

The only scenario in which I'd rather have Wayne Rooney than Juan Mata is a sausage eating competition.

Juan Mata created on average 2.71 chances per game last season for Chelsea. Wayne Rooney for Man United lags behind on 1.81 chances per game

only way i can make sense of CFC's reported offer of mata + £10m for rooney is that mourinho still sees himself as the next manager of MUFC

Rooney for Mata is like me part-exchanging my Ford Fiesta for a BMW and getting cashback. Done fine for me, but had a few problems with it.

Mata: Beautiful control. An artist. Unassuming, humble & sweet. Clever too. Studying for 2 degrees whilst playing football.
Rooney: Erm...

£10 Million + Mata for Rooney?? Behave!!! Id carry Rooney down the M6 myself for that.

I thought getting £12m off Chelsea for Mikel was taking the piss out of them. But even a straight swap of Rooney & Mata would be robbery.

Hang on, I've been out of the loop - is this Rooney/Mata thing real? Holy fuck.

Ha ha. As if United have turned down £10m plus Mata for Rooney. If that's true it's absolutely insane.
