Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho
said on Friday he is willing to let midfielder
Morgan Schneiderlin leave Old Trafford amid
interest from Premier League rivals West
Bromwich Albion.

Schneiderlin, capped 15 times by France, has
asked to leave United having made only eight
appearances so far this season.

West Brom have made a bid for the player,
according to British press reports, with the
BBC saying the Baggies have offered £13
million ($15.9m, 15.2m euros).

Asked if the 27-year-old had told him he
wished to move away, Mourinho replied:
“Yeah. (He’s a) great professional, a fantastic
boy, very honest, very open and (he) opens
his heart a couple of times.

“My answer is simple: if he’s playing regular
with me I have the right to say, ‘no way’. If
he’s not playing regular I have no right to tell
a player that wants to be happy, I have no
right to say to a player, ‘you’re going
nowhere’.

“My answer was — if the offer is right and
our board thinks that the offer is a good
offer in relation to the quality of a very good
player like Morgan, I would not stop him to
go.”
