da poker： Jose Mourinho has answered questions as to the future of Wayne Rooney in his first press conference as Manchester United manager this morning.
da blaze casino： As well as eluding to the Red Devil’s aims for next season, the departure of Ryan Giggs and activities in the transfer window, Mourinho gave United fans the answer they have been craving for the past few months surrounding their club talisman, and hinted that the England international very much still has a role to play at Old Trafford.
He said: “There are many jobs on the field.
“The most difficult to find is one to put the ball in the net. It is normal that a player at his age will change a little bit. One thing that will never change is his natural appetite to put the ball in the net.”
The outspoken Portuguese star continued, even taking a sly dig at both England boss Roy Hodgson and his United predecessor Louis Van Gaal: “With me he will never be a No6, playing 50 meters from goal.
“Yes, his passing is amazing but mine is also amazing without pressure. Many players have a great pass, but to put the ball in the net is the most difficult. He will be a No9, a No10, a No9.5 but never a No6 or a No8.”
The question still looms as to where Rooney will fit in United’s now star studded front line including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and, erm, Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Twitter has spoken on Mourinho’s comments on Rooney however, and here are some of the best reactions…
