Head coach of
Manchester United, Jose Mourinho has revealed he'll never ever sell England/Man
U captain Wayne Rooney despite his long stretch of poor form for club and
country. Rooney, England's highest goal scorer and Manchester United's second
highest goal scorer of all time has been dropped by club and country due to his
poor form and sloppiness during matches, but Mourinho who has kept him on the
bench in his last 3 premier league matches says he'll never sell his captain,
as rumours surfaced that United will be looking to offload him as soon as this
summer.
Speaking to
Sky Sports News HQ, Mourinho was asked about the possible prospect of selling
Rooney, 30, to which he replied emphatically.
“No, never. I
will never make that decision. A player of his stature, a player of his history
in the club will never go to point where club or manager want to make that
decision for him.
“I put him
[Rooney] on the bench for three matches in a row. That is hard for him, hard
for me, so that is being ruthless, to put in my mind the interests of the team
in front of the player, prestige, status. In this case even legend. To put on
bench a player with the numbers he has for club and country is hard.”
