Jose Mourinho blames Manchester United boss David Moyes for Wayne Rooney transfer saga

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United manager David Moyes is to blame for putting Wayne Rooney at the centre of a summer transfer saga.

Possible departures

Mourinho is expected to conclude a deal for Anzhi Makhachkala forward Willian imminently but the arrival of Rooney could signal a departure for one of Chelsea's existing three strikers - Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku and Demba Ba. The Blues boss does not want a squad that is too large and Ba appears most likely to leave, even if only on a temporary basis. Mourinho said: "I told the players that I want a squad of 22 (players). "They are professionals. They want to stay. (But) they know that, if somebody's coming, it will be hard because, normally, somebody has to leave." The arrival of Willian may also lead to somebody leaving Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea having a host of options for the three attacking midfield positions in which he is earmarked to play. Victor Moses' place at Chelsea is most precarious, although Mourinho insists it is not solely his decision on who leaves, whether it is a striker or another forward. He said: "This is not about choosing one to leave. It's to agree a situation. "If a player does not want to leave, the player does not want to leave. "But we are speaking hypothetically because maybe we don't get another striker and maybe we keep the three strikers we have."
