Mourinho Tells Rooney To Do What Makes Him Happy
Filed: Tuesday, June 11
Jose Mourinho has advised Wayne Rooney to do what it takes to be happy, with the Daily Mail suggesting the Portuguese was attempting to guide the Manchester United striker towards a move to Chelsea.
Mourinho is understood to want to sign a new striker upon his return to Stamford Bridge, with Napoli forward Edinson Cavani considered top of the manager�s wanted list. But the Uruguayan has a �53m release clause in his contract with the Serie A side and Chelsea could investigate a bid for Rooney, the newspaper believes.
�I like him. He is at a fantastic age. He has maturity, big experience and is still young,� Mourinho said of Rooney. �It�s up to him and what he wants, what makes him happy.
�He�s a little bit like me,� the 50-year-old continued. �He doesn�t need one more pound in his contract and one more cup won�t make a difference. Be happy. Where is he happy? Where will he find more happiness to have ambition and drive him?�
