PHOTO: Jose Mourinho praised Captain Wayne Rooney, but says United will not be bothered if he decides to leave for ‘Chinese big money’
Days after breaking the all-time goal scoring record of
Manchester United, Wayne Rooney has been rumoured to be interested in moving
to China, and it was also rumoured that an unnamed Chinese Super League club,
are ready to pay the United forward a mouth-water £700,000 a week to join their team...
But according to Jose Mourinho,
United can only wish him well, and will not be bothered by that....He said:
“I don’t know, it’s up to him,”
“I don’t like to be critical of players who decide to go to
China. It’s their life, it’s their organisation of their life, their
organisation of their career.
“The money is huge. The
experience can also be interesting.
“I know some of my colleagues
think they are more important than they are and think they can interfere in the
lives of other people, but I’m not that sort of guy.
"To be honest, in Wayne’s
case, I have no idea because he has never mentioned it to me.”
Rooney has two more yes on his
contract and Mourinho answering question on that said:
“You will have to ask
him,” he said. “I think the future belongs to him and what he wants in his
career. The way he wants to end it, the way he wants to enjoy the last part of
his, that belongs to him.
"I repeat, he reaches a certain
level in his career when it is up to him.
“Could anyone have been critical
of Zlatan if last summer he decided to go to China or USA, one guy who has had
an amazing career?
"It is the same with Wayne.
“He owns his career. It
is him, his family and his decision, but of course, yes, I see him making an
important contribution for us.”
