Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he'll 'try' to avoid discussing Wayne Rooney ahead of Monday's trip to Manchester United.

Chelsea remain in the hunt for the England ace.

After victory over Aston Villa, Mourinho remarked: "I don't want Chelsea to do it before we go to Old Trafford, and the board share my opinion. There is time to do things, but this period from an ethical point of view we are going to be quiet and thinking just about that game."
