Rooney going nowhere: Mourinho

Manchester, January 31 (AFP): Jose Mourinho has confirmed Wayne Rooney will remain at Manchester United for the rest of the season despite reports linking him with a move to the Chinese Super League.   But Mourinho insisted Tuesday that Rooney, 31, will stay in his squad until at least the end of the season, despite having long since lost his status as an automatic first-choice at the club where he has been such a key player for the last 13 years.   “Yes,” said Mourinho when asked if Rooney, who recently became United's all-time leading goal-scorer, will see out the season at Old Trafford.   Mourinho, like most of the other managers near the top of the Premier League, has had a quiet January transfer window with the sales of Schneiderlin and Depay his only major business.   “We are more focused on the summer period. I like my players, so nothing for me,” he said.
