Jose Mourinho prepared to sell midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin

"If he's not playing regular I have no right to tell a player that wants to be happy, I have no right to say to a player, 'you're going nowhere'."

Jose Mourinho is prepared to sanction the sale of midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin after confirming the player has told him he wishes to leave Manchester United.

The Frenchman has made only eight appearances in his second season at Old Trafford and Tony Pulis' West Brom have lodged a club-record bid for him, which Press Association Sport understands to be in the region of £18million.
