# Wayne Rooney should call me if he leaves Manchester United, says Jose
|
|
Mourinho
|
|
|
|
## Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has indicated an interest in signing
|
|
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, if the player cannot be persuaded to
|
|
stay at Old Trafford.

By Telegraph staff and agencies 11:00AM BST 20 Oct 2010
|
|
|
|
[**United**][2] manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed in an astonishing
|
|
statement on Tuesday that [**Rooney**][3]'s representatives had told United
|
|
chief executive David Gill on Aug 14 that the player wanted to leave.
|
|
|
|
The timing of that announcement from Rooney's camp rules out the possibility
|
|
that the reason for Rooney seeking a move had anything to do with any
|
|
unhappiness over the handling of an ankle injury he suffered last month, and
|
|
Ferguson confirmed the deal United were prepared to offer the player was "the
|
|
best contract any player could have".
|
|
|
|
Gill and Ferguson have both stressed to Rooney that the opportunity to resume
|
|
talks still exists, and though Real are one of the few clubs with the
|
|
financial muscle to sign Rooney, their coach Mourinho still expects the player
|
|
to remain at Old Trafford.
|
|
|
|
However, if the club are forced to sell, the Portuguese insisted Real would be
|
|
among a number of interested parties.
|
|
|
|
Mourinho said: "He will stay. He probably wants to leave for some reason but I
|
|
believe he belongs to Man United, he belongs to Man United fans, he belongs to
|
|
Old Trafford. I believe he is going to stay.

|
|
|
|
"But if at the end of the day Man United decide that he is to leave, then give
|
|
me a call.
|
|
|
|
"Everybody will be interested (in signing Rooney).
|
|
|
|
"But I like him, I like Sir Alex, I like Man United and I believe the best
|
|
thing for him is to stay there for life."
|
|
|
|
Ferguson revealed the club's determination to head off any temptation to seek
|
|
a move away by preparing to offer Rooney the most lucrative terms possible.
|
|
|
|
"Contract issues, over the last 10 years, have accelerated to a degree where
|
|
they are quite phenomenal," said Ferguson.
|
|
|
|
"David (Gill) was prepared, following discussions with our owners, to offer
|
|
Wayne the best contract any player could have.
|
|
|
|
"Now there is no offer on the table because they are not prepared to listen to
|
|
one."
|
|
|
|
The immediate reaction from United supporters was one of resentment towards
|
|
Rooney and alarm at the possibility of life without their talisman, which will
|
|
almost certainly come in January.
|
|
|
|
Rooney's camp are thought to have been surprised by Ferguson's damning
|
|
statement and explosive interview with MUTV, although, as yet, they have still
|
|
to make a formal response.
|
|
|
|
Last night Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp indicated his interest in signing
|
|
the former Everton player.
|
|
|
|
"I'm going to speak to my chairman and see if we can get Rooney to Tottenham,"
|
|
Redknapp half-joked ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Inter
|
|
Milan.
|
|
|
|
Ferguson, while claiming "the door is still open" to a new deal for Rooney,
|
|
has driven his argument home quite forcibly, accusing the England forward of
|
|
failing to respect United.
|
|
|
|
"I was in the office on August 14 and (chief executive) David (Gill) phoned
|
|
me," outlined Ferguson.
|
|
|
|
"He had got a phone call from his agent saying that he (Rooney) wasn't signing
|
|
a contract.
|
|
|
|
"I couldn't believe it. I just was dumbfounded. I could not understand it
|
|
because only months before he was saying he was at the greatest club in the
|
|
world and he wanted to stay for life.
|
|
|
|
"We just don't know what's changed the boy's mind.
|
|
|
|
"The next step was going to be important, decisive for us how we deal with the
|
|
situation.
|
|
|
|
"I then asked to have a meeting with the boy and he reiterated what his agent
|
|
had said - he wanted to go.
|
|
|
|
"The one thing I said was, 'Just remember one thing: respect this club. I
|
|
don't want any nonsense from you. Respect the club'.
|
|
|
|
"I don't know if he's done that. I have got doubts on that because we're
|
|
reading things about falling out with me and all that nonsense. It's
|
|
disappointing because we have done everything we possibly can to help Wayne
|
|
Rooney from the minute he's come to the club."
