"The only thing I can tell you 100% for sure is that everyone at this club wants to win," stated Mourinho.

"That is the most important thing and when I read that we are not pushing in the same direction that is completely untrue.

"Roman and I speak. We speak as always but with a difference.

"The difference is that Roman is not in London for quite a long time but I have no complaints about that because he is the owner of this club and he does not have to give any explanation about his professional and personal life.

"He pays me and chief executive Peter Kenyon quite a lot to run this club so he does not have to be around.

"When he is back he is always welcome in our dressing room. When he is not around it is because he has other things to do or he prefers to do other things."

Meanwhile, Mourinho added that he will not be bringing in any new faces during the transfer window.

"I have John Terry, I have Peter Cech, I don't need more players. I am not going to sign anybody in January," he confirmed.

He added that he expects central defender Terry to return to action for match at Charlton on 3 February.
