Jose Mourinho likens Rooney to himself

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho remarked that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney should leave the club if it made him happy. Rooney has been uncertain about his United future following the appointment of manager David Moyes. The striker also had transfer requests rejected by the club.

Arsenal,Chelsea and PSG are some of the clubs that have the striker on their radar.

“I think he is at a fantastic age for a player: maturity, big experience, still young,” the Portuguese told reporters. “It’s up to him and what he wants, what makes him happy.

“He’s a little bit like me: he doesn’t need one more pound in his contract. One more cup won’t make a different. Be happy.

“Where is he happy? Where will he find more happiness to have ambition and drive him? I like him as a boy. I wish him well and hope he is happy.”

However, Mourinho would not be drawn on whether or not he will attempt to bring the striker to Stamford Bridge.

“I learned a few things,” he continued. “One of them is I don’t comment on players from other teams. No chance. No chance.”
