Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o has said that he does not care about manager Jose Mourinho's age jibe and feels confident about scoring goals until he is '50'.

Eto'o is reportedly not worried about Mourinho questioning his age as the Portugese footballer was caught on camera saying that he lacked a striker in his team and mocked Eto'o's age.

According to the Metro, Eto'o, who scored a hat trick against Manchest United' last month, insisted that he has no issues with his manager and is confident about scoring more goals.

After England went for a 1-1 draw at Galatasaray, Eto'o said that if he could score a goal at 36 and 37 then he could score goals even when he was 50 and added that it was important for him to help his team win some titles.
