Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has hailed Wayne Rooney’s decision to remain at the club and confirmed that the club’s captain will be in the squad for Sunday’s EFL Cup final.
Rooney finally shut down speculation linking him with a move to China on Thursday, with a statement confirming his intention to stay at Old Trafford.
“Yes, “said Mourinho when asked on Friday if Rooney is in the Wembley squad.
“I think he did, in the right moment, in the best moment, he did his declaration, his statement.
“I told you at my last press conference that the questions you are asking me were questions for him. Only him could answer the questions and he did it exactly in the right moment.
“Your question is the last question about Wayne Rooney and should be the last until the end of the season. He says he stays and helps the team to fight for the trophies.
“I said already I will be happy if that’s the decision so yes it’s fine. He is training with the team.
“He was not selected for St-Etienne because he was not ready to play, but he was ready to have one more important training session. And now, today, he is involved in the game.”
