Jose Mourinho claimed on Friday that Manchester United are ready to sell Wayne Rooney in the summer.
The Chelsea manager cranked up the heat ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash against United by suggesting Old Trafford chiefs will look to offload Rooney to an overseas club at the end of the season.
Rooney is expected to miss Sunday's game with a groin injury but United are considering risking him and he could travel with the team.
On his way? Mourinho claims Rooney could be off in the summer, but most likely to a European side

Mourinho remains interested in the England striker, having failed in a bid to land him last summer, but he said: ‘United were clear in the way they approached the Rooney situation.
‘They don’t swap. They don’t sell. I don’t see that changing, they were very clear about that.
‘Will it be the same this summer? I think maybe this summer they will try to sell to a non-direct rival. But they were very clear, not to a domestic direct rival.’
Mourinho will return for Rooney at the end of the season but his barbs at United are not likely to help his attempts to land the forward.
The Chelsea boss said earlier this week he had inside information about the mood at Old Trafford.
