Mourinho was asked if supporters could expect a signing over the next few days and replied: “Yes we have 22 now and we are going to have 23”. “I don’t like to speak about players from other clubs, other managers like to do that, they like to speak about my club and my players, I’m very pragmatic on this”. But then we won things and people now look back and say: “It wasn’t that expensive when you consider we won six Premier League trophies out of 12 years”. In the other countries they do not want to have to share the money.

‘You are right, he (Klopp) was one of them but I don’t comment, ‘ said Mourinho (below).
“He is an ambitious coach who always wants to win, he will 100 percent prepare a team that will be much better than in recent years, and he will try to win titles”.
“I think he’s a player that has the potential to dictate games as well and taking over a match”.
“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”, Mourinho said. He joined for £25m – a snip of the expected £112m sum United will pay for the Frenchman – but Mourinho is reported to have made a decision early on that Pogba was the man he wanted.
With the Norwegian youngster making just one first-team appearance at Real Madrid since joining the club, Odegaard is likely set for a loan move this season, with Liverpool serving as a viable option. You go to many countries and clearly they are happy the way they are. “This is the profile of our market”. A creative player (Henrikh Mkhitaryan) that we know the quality, a super striker (Zlatan Ibrahimovic) and we are going to get a very good midfielder.
