  • Title: Mourinho says he needs "two more" players
  • Date: 25th July 2017
  • Summary: WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES (JULY 25, 2017) (REUTERS) MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYERS STEPPING ON TEAM BUS (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED COACH JOSE MOURINHO SAYING: "I don't know, honestly. Ed is in control. He did Lindelof and Lukaku. He knows that I would like two more players but he also knows that I have balance. I depend on the situation, the market, and if my club is unable to do two players and just one, I accept that as a consequence of the market now. Our relationship is good and I just wait for good news, and good news is to have the players, maybe just the player as soon as possible because to work together with the team is really important. But I'm calm. I like my players. I like my squad. I trust them, so I'm calm and that's important." (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED COACH JOSE MOURINHO SAYING: "I'm happy with my squad but I would like to have two more players. I never hide that. One player, a midfield player, would give me more options to the balance and the team. Another one, an attacking player, especially that can play through the wings to give me more attacking options but I never speak about players that belong to other teams. I don't like if any manager comes and would say he would like one of my players. That's not correct. I would like two more players but probably I only get one." (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED'S PAUL POGBA SAYING: "It was a big challenge for me. I knew that I wouldn't play champions league. I say to myself I want Manchester United to be the Manchester United of back in the day and I think we are on the way we won three trophies last season and we are back in the Champion's League. The team is improving a lot again so I hope we are going to continue that way and improve and improve." POGBA AND OTHER PLAYERS GETTING ON BUS MANCHESTER UNITED FANS
