Mourinho confirms Schneiderlin can leave Manchester United

Jose Mourinho says he will not stand in the way of Morgan Schneiderlin's transfer away from Manchester United if the club receive a suitable offer.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis confirmed on Friday that they had launched a bid for the France international, which is reportedly worth close to £13million.

Mourinho has admitted that Schneiderlin has made his frustrations clear and that he will not deny him an exit if United's board accept an offer.

"He's a great professional, a fantastic boy. Very honest, very open, and he's opened his heart a couple of times," said the Portuguese.

"My answer is simple: if he's playing regular with me, I have the right to say 'no way'. If not, I have no right to tell a player 'you're not going anywhere'.

"So if the board thinks the offer is a good offer in relation to a quality player like Morgan, I will not stop him from going."
