Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Wayne Rooney wants to leave Manchester United

Jose Mourinho has revealed he would be interested in signing Wayne Rooney from Manchester United - but also said that he firmly believes the striker will stay at Old Trafford.

Mourinho was asked about his interest in the want-away striker after Real Madrid's 2-0 Champions League win over AC Milan at the Bernabeu.

Mourinho told Sky Sports: "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. 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. He will stay at Old Trafford for sure."
