He remarked that he knew what it was to be a young player at a vast club. “It was decided long before, it wasn’t on the pitch”.
“The players are happy with some details which belong to the nature of this club”, said Mourinho after his side made it two wins from two Premier League matches this season.

Jose Mourinho has reportedly told the staff not to expect any further signing this window according to the Daily Mail.
Paul Pogba has admitted that Jose Mourinho was a key factor in his decision to rejoin Manchester United in the summer transfer window. “He has played will with Michael Carrick, he has played well with Ander Herrera, he has played well with Paul [Pogba]”.
