Jose Mourinho: Wayne Rooney is going nowhere

Jose Mourinho insists Wayne Rooney is “going nowhere” despite continuing speculation about the future of the Manchester United captain.

The England skipper, who turned 31 on Monday, has found himself out of the United and England sides, and reports this week suggested Mourinho had told Rooney he needs to move if he wants regular first-team football.

The United boss said that was “not true at all” and underlined his desire to keep Rooney at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.
