Rooney: José Mourinho has brought back winning mentality

A world record deal to take Pogba back to the club he left in 2012 is expected to be completed in the coming days, and former Manchester United treble victor Yorke thinks signing the Juventus midfielder will allow Jose Mourinho to get the best out of Rooney.

Mourinho is also believed to have informed a handful of young players they will not figure in his plans this season and are free to pursue the option of first-team football elsewhere. The only solution is to train hard and to train against opposition like today is the most important thing we can do. “The club is more important than all of us, and to be in the squad you have to be ready for this, to play, not to play, play a lot, play less, play 90 minutes, play one minute, not be selected”.

Fabinho joined the Spanish giants from Portuguese club Rio Ave in 2012 and went on to make 30 appearances for Real Madrid Castilla in Mourinho’s final season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“He’s made, in my opinion, some great signings who have gelled in really well with the squad so it’s exciting times”.

United recently returned from their pre-season tour of China, which was disrupted due to the second game against Manchester City being cancelled due to weather and the state of the pitch at the Birds Nest Stadium in Beijing.

Adnan Januzaj, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Andreas Pereira, Will Keane, Tyler Blackett, Paddy McNair and James Wilson are all reported to have been told they are surplus to requirements – for now at least.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is playing a pivotal role in creating a friendly atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room, manager Jose Mourinho has said, adding that the striker should not restrict his role in the squad to goalscorer.

According to The Guardian, Schweinsteiger, who played just 13 English Premier League games last season, missed training on Thursday and has been deemed expendable by Mourinho.

Schweinsteiger, who turns 32 on Monday, still has two years to run on his 190,000-euro-a-week deal and United will be hoping another club can come in for him.
