Wayne Rooney: Man Utd captain 'is going nowhere

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is "going nowhere", according to manager Jose Mourinho.

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.
