Get Him For Me. Jose Mourinho Begs Abramovich To Let Him Sign £300,000-A-Week UCL Winner

It has been widely speculated by the Metro that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is considering tabling a shocking bid for out of form Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

The United Captain has featured in a number of positions outside his natural number 9 role this season and has scored just 2 goals in 11 premier league appearances in the league this season.

Despite all this speculation, Chelsea’s first choice striker Diego Costa has been similarly disappointing this year, with the Brazil-born Spain international also scoring just two goals so far in ten games.

Despite the arrival of 19-year-old Anthony Martial at United earlier this summer, Rooney has still been preferred up front even after his uninspiring performances.

A move for Rooney will be considered as an unwise one with Rooney completely out of form and showing little signs of the man that took the league by storm a couple of years ago.

Chelsea are also rumored to be after former United man Javier Hernandez ahead of the January transfer window as a replacement for the misfiring Diego Costa and Radamel Falcao.

Manchester United take on a tough Watford side in their next premier league encounter and will be keen on grabbing all three points against an Ighalo inspired Watford outfit.

United currently boast of the League’s best defence having conceded the fewest goals in the League this season and they will be looking to use their solid defensive set up as they attempt to curb the attack threat posed by Odion Ighalo.
