“He has spoken to me, ‘ said Mourinho”. He gave this last statement, which he is completely free to do in an objective and polite way like he did. “I’m not saying it’s impossible”, he said.
“I have Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera, Morgan Schneiderlin, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick”.
Mourinho admitted, “When everyone thinks we will win comfortably, even the players can start to think that although it is a gift, it’s not the gift they want”. I’m quite surprised Karl-Heinze is not here to take him back.

“So I think we’re going to have a very quiet week, not surrounded by helicopters, waiting for somebody to leave or to arrive, so I am more than happy with the squad I have”. I can not say Marcus doesn’t play in the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United and their traditional rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool will do battle for the Premier League title this season.

United came fifth in the Premier League under Louis van Gaal last season, and Mourinho added: “I think it’s going to be a very hard season for everyone but I think the traditional top teams had a bad experience past year that they don’t want to repeat”.
“No, the first thing I think about is my team”.
The top two teams from each of the 12 groups advance to the round of 32 where they will be joined by the eight third-placed teams from the Champions League group stage.
