No going back on Rooney

LONDON. — Jose Mourinho insists he will fight until “the last day” to sign Wayne Rooney.
Chelsea have had two offers rejected by Manchester United, the latest a £25million bid made on Sunday.But Mourinho said: “There is no time limit on it.
“We have identified the player as one we would like to have with us. We have done it in an ethical way and we are going to do that until the last day. We are doing things legally, making the official bid directly to the club.

“There have been no direct relations with the player, no contact — absolutely nothing. So let’s see if things change.”
Rooney has told manager David Moyes that he wants to go, but United insist he is not for sale.

The interest is believed to frustrate United with the Premier League champions continuing to be adamant that they have no intention of letting Rooney go.
But Mourinho believes Chelsea have acted properly in their dealings, having done all of their activity through the official channels.

He added: “We are doing things legally, making the official bid directly to the club, no interviews or comments or direct relations with the player, no contact, absolutely nothing.

“We have done it in an ethical way and we are going to do that until the last day. And we will see how it comes.”
Mourinho has also fired a warning shot at Barcelona over their attempts to land David Luiz, insisting the Spaniards are ‘‘wasting their time’’. — Mailonline.
