Jose Mourinho: "I don't understand why United want to hang on to an unhappy player rather than sell him to a rival." "Let's say we make the bid, and they say no again, what do we lose? One e-mail. Why keep an unhappy player" Mourinho has pleaded with Man United boss David Moyes to sell unsettled striker Wayne Rooney to him. Mourinho started his pursuit of Rooney in April when still manager of Real Madrid. Mourinho had then already decided to build his new Chelsea team around Rooney. [Express]
