Football: The manager of Chelsea Football Club of England Jose Mourinho, has dismissed David Moyes' accusation that he the 'Special One' had unsettled the unhappy Manchester United and England forward, Wayne Rooney. Mourinho whose Chelsea side faces Moyes' side at Old Trafford in tonight's Premier League first top four clash of the season, argued that it was rather the Scot who unsettled Rooney by giving him the role of a second fiddle to the Dutch striker, Robin van Persie when he officially assumed duty as the new manager of the club. However, Mourinho suggested that the old mentality of not wanting to sell players to clubs from the same league ought to be changed because it does not contribute positively to the league neither does it help the affected players. “That old-fashioned mentality of ‘I don’t sell players to clubs in the same country’ I think doesn’t help the market,” Mourinho said. “It doesn’t help the players and sometimes you push players to play abroad when you should be interested in keeping the players to play in your league because when you keep players in your league you are contributing to making your league the best league. So when you want to sell and you push the players abroad I think you are giving the wrong contribution to the league.” Mourinho suggested it was not in United’s interests to keep an “unhappy” player. “We had Robben unhappy, we sold him to Real Madrid because he wanted so much to go to Real Madrid. We had William Gallas unhappy, we sold William Gallas to Arsenal,” he said of his first spell at Chelsea although he added that “every case” was different. Apart from that Chelsea have sold Daniel Sturridge to Liverpool who is doing very well for them since the move. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney is likely to start tonight's game against a side that has not given up just yet trying to sign him this summer as Mourinho has been insisting a new bid will be made for the striker after tonight's clash even though David Moyes has been adamant that the forward will not be sold in this window transfer period. Should the "old-fashioned mentality that discourages clubs from selling their best players to their fellow league's clubs be changed?
