Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will be allowed to lift the EFL Cup on Sunday, even if he doesn’t play in the final.
United take on Southampton for the first silverware of the season at Wembley.
Rooney has lost his place in the team and was recently linked with a move away. But he ended speculation this week, with a statement announcing he will stay at Old Trafford .
Mourinho is unsure if he will play any part in the final, but made it clear he was still United captain.
“I think he’s our captain. Playing or being on the bench – he’s always our captain,” he told MUTV.
“But I don’t care. We just want to win. If we win, I don’t care who lifts the cup. I just want to win the match.
“He is our captain but I don’t think he cares, I don’t think anyone does. We all just want to win.”
