Pogba has been linked with a world-record transfer to United, which sold him to Juventus for less than 1 million pounds in 2012. They like to speak about my club and my players. For me, every trophy is very serious. “We stay like this. but I think my club is trying to do everything to close our market before August 14”. “So next week we will have our squad closed”. I think they can cope.
“We have six changes, not three, so that gives me the chance to give minutes to some people, a chance to play with some players who I know can not have the condition to play for 90 minutes, so it will be a little bit of everything – and, of course, we will try to win it”.
“I think our market was good”.
“Of course, we make mistakes and we are far from perfection, but they are giving everything to adapt, and step by step my team is going to be my team”.
“So I am happy with my squad and with the effort the club did and is still doing for us, and the others – it is their problem”.
Paul Pogba’s protracted transfer saga to United could be coming to an end very soon with reports a deal between the Reds and the player has already been sealed.
With the World Cup victor looking to have been cut out of the first-team picture at United, Dejan Stefanovic, a lawyer and FifPro member from Slovenia, suggested this week that Mourinho should be sent to prison over his “bullying” treatment of Schweinsteiger.
But Mourinho knows first-hand how hard it is to defend the Premier League title, having been sacked while trying to do just that with Chelsea last season, adding that the extra stress of Champions League football could take its toll on Claudio Ranieri’s men.

“We have 22 and we are going to have 23”, Mourinho told a news conference. “If he doesn’t sign it could have an adverse effect mentally on the players in the changing room”, he said.
