Rooney: Man Utd captain 'is going nowhere', says Mourinho

By Daily Sports on October 29, 2016

Mourinho dismissed reports the England forward was told to leave Old Trafford to get regular first-team football.

Rooney, 31, has not started a league game since the 3-1 defeat to Watford on 18 September and has missed United's last two games with injury.

"There is no problem at all but you need stories to sell papers," said the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss.

"(Rooney) is a top player, a very important player for us," added Mourinho. "He is going nowhere - we like him, he likes us. He's not happy because he's been on the bench but he is even unhappier when he's injured."

Rooney is now fit after recovering from the calf injury that forced him to miss Sunday's 4-0 defeat to Chelsea and Wednesday's EFL Cup win over Manchester City.

He is just four goals short of surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton's tally of 249 goals for United, to become the club's all-time record goalscorer.

But he has scored just once this season and has not found the net in his last 10 games for United.

Mourinho said he also had been misquoted, after he was reported to have said living alone in Manchester had become a "bit of a disaster".

He added: "You write lies, even about myself when I say it's a disaster because every time I leave the hotel I have somebody chasing me, you say my life is a disaster. You can write what you want but many times it is not true."
