Jose Mourinho, in his first press conference as a United manager, revealed that he planned to use Rooney in attack and that the striker would never play as a midfielder under him.

However, Mourinho insisted that the armband does not guarantee Rooney a starting place alone. “First of all because I don’t think it’s correct to speak about players from other clubs. I’m just going to look forward now and obviously my leg feels great and you know I just want to push on in this pre-season and get fully fit”.

“The way the crowd were with me, the cheers when I first had my first touch. you know that meant a lot to me”.

“I’m excited for it. I think it is time for you because ’66 (when England won their one and only major worldwide trophy) was a long time ago, so good luck Big Sam”.

Fans will be able to see Jose Mourinho’s new team in action during a series of games created to enable the new manager to formulate his plans for the upcoming season. We are improving and building a fantastic team.

The Real Madrid ace joined the club in 2011 for a reported fee of €10 million (£8.4 million), with the help of his compatriot, Zinedine Zidane, who held a meeting with him in France about joining Los Blancos.

“But, to be fair, I think he is”.

Here are the latest Manchester United news stories and transfer rumors circulating in the Twitterverse, blogosphere, cyberspace and media world today.

“With me it is not going to be different”.

“I want players that want to come and want to stay. We are going to challenge for every title”.

“Our fundamental market is 75 percent done and when we sign one midfield player, that will be done”, he said. He wanted to play every game. “With Jose leaving Chelsea and now coming back into the Premier League with United, for me it is a great move”, Beckham told Sky Sports.

“We had a proposal from a big club like Man United. Everyone’s enjoying the training we’re doing”. “My decision with Zlatan is down to hours of study of him, with my coaches”, added Mourinho.
