Jose: Rooney not a midfielder

Jose Mourinho wants Wayne Rooney to play further up the
pitch for Manchester United because of his eye for goal
Wayne Rooney will not play in midfield for
Manchester United and will continue as a forward,
manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
The 30-year-old United captain dropped into
midfield under Louis van Gaal at the end of last
season and continued in that position for England
during their ill-fated Euro 2016 campaign.
Rooney admitted earlier this year he had always
expected to become a midfielder in his later years
and was hoping to emulate United great Paul
Scholes.
