Vieira issues quit threat to Mourinho

PATRICK VIEIRA has warned Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho that he will leave the San Siro unless he is given more time on the pitch, as he fears for his place in France’s World Cup squad.

The former Arsenal legend, 33, has found his starting opportunities increasingly limited this season, having made the starting XI only three times in Serie A, and appearing just once from the substitutes bench in the UEFA Champions League.

Having joined Inter from Juventus in 2006, the French star has been employed largely as a bit part player, with Mourinho favouring the likes of Esteban Cambiasso, Wesley Sneijder and Sulley Muntari in his midfield.
