United manager Alex Ferguson confirmed earlier today that Rooney wants to leave the club, and barring a change of heart from the player it means he is almost certain to leave either in January or at the end of the season.
Speaking after Real's 2-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League tonight, Mourinho told Sky Sports News: "He will stay. He probably wants to leave for some reason but I believe he belongs to Man United, he belongs to Man United fans, he belongs to Old Trafford. I believe he is going to stay.
"But if at the end of the day Man United decide that he is to leave, then give me a call." Mourinho admitted he would not be alone in a bidding war if Rooney is put on the market. "Everybody will be interested. But I like him, I like Sir Alex, I like Man United and I believe the best thing for him is to stay there for life."
On the possibility of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo reuniting at Madrid, Mourinho said: "Yeah, but he will stay at Old Trafford for sure."
