Jose: It’s your fault, Moyes Mourinho blames Utd boss for Roo transfer hell... JOSE MOURINHO has blamed David Moyes for causing Wayne Rooney’s Manchester United transfer hell. The Chelsea boss insists United rival Moyes inflamed the situation by revealing Robin van Persie is his first-choice striker. Ahead of tonight’s Old Trafford showdown, Mourinho said: “We are trying to get a player that a manager told: ‘You will be a second option.’" “If I say Ramires is a second option for me and he plays when Lampard is tired or injured... if someone comes here to get Ramires, nobody is upset.” Asked directly if Moyes was to blame for Rooney’s unhappy situation, Mourinho replied: “Of course.” The Special One is planning one final Rooney bid after tonight’s clash. Chelsea have agreed a deal with Russian club Anzhi for Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o, but that has not stopped their pursuit of the England star. Mourinho is facing a hostile reception from angry United fans tonight. But he hit back: “Why are they against me? I didn’t say ‘You will be a second choice for me.’" “We are not going for Van Persie, so they don’t have to be against me.” Rooney, 27, still wants to leave but may now have to wait with United insisting he is not for sale. Chelsea have had bids of £24million and £28m turned down, while a third one of more than £30m is expected to be e-mailed to United tomorrow. However, Mourinho added: “I don’t know if he can leave to another club. Right now I don’t care. Tuesday, we will have another feeling.” (Sun)
