Mourinho shrugs off snub from Chelsea's Lampard

He told Sky Sports: "I am not the sort of manager who cries. I look forward and move on.

"I could have waited until August 31 to see what could happen, I am not that type of person.

"When we were sensing the situation was not going to happen, we made our decision and I am very happy to have (Sulley) Muntari.

"He is a good boy, a good player, I always like players who previously worked with good managers and he worked with one of the best in English football, so he will have learned a lot with Harry (Redknapp).

"I prefer to think about Sulley than about Frank Lampard.

"He will be in Chelsea, it is because he will be happy, and I have no more comment about it."
