Mourinho refuses to rule out Chelsea move for Rooney

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has refused to rule out a move for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney .

Chelsea were linked with the England international in the summer, but despite appearing keen to quit Old Trafford, Rooney opted to stay and has enjoyed a good first half of the season on a personal level.

But with Manchester United's poor start to the campaign and Chelsea's desire to bolster their strike force, the Blues have again been linked with the 28-year-old.

Mourinho said Chelsea will play Manchester United in a few days, and it's not nice to speak about a United player.
