Asked whether a big signing could be expected over the next few days, the Portuguese said: “Yes”.
“[Medhi] Benatia? You already know him, I think, because he played in Serie A. [Gonzalo] Higuain was the top scorer a year ago, so he completes a very strong attack department alongside [Mario] Mandzukic, [Paulo] Dybala, [Simone] Zaza and the above-mentioned Pjaca”. Other managers like to do that, but the only thing that matters is my house. “Not at all. My teams are different to Van Gaal, and it is a hard situation to change the dynamics”, Mourinho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Saturday.
Mourinho only had players who participated in Euro 2016 involved in the last two fixtures and has expressed concern about the way preparations have gone in the build-up to United’s Premier League opener at Bournemouth on August 14.
“So I am happy with the balance of my squad, I’m happy with the effort that the club has, and is still putting in for us”.
“Of course, we have six changes instead of three, so that gives me the chance to give minutes to some people”. Other managers like to do that, they like to speak about my club and my players.
“He [Mourinho] said a long time ago his dream is to represent United so everyone was expecting one day he would become Manchester United’s coach”, Nani said.
“On United’s dealings so far, he added: “I think our market was good”. We made decisions. We brought four players, not 10, who are Man United level and can really improve the squad.
“Paul Pogba is a Juventus player until he isn’t, officially, so we stay like this”.
United will face Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.

“Only N’Golo Kante has left and the rest of the players have done lots of work in a settled environment ahead of the new season”.
