Premier League: Jose Mourinho wants two more players
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is still unhappy with what the club managed to achieve on the transfer market this season, despite having signed defender Victor Lindelof and striker Romelu Lukaku. They had tried to sign Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann earlier this month and also targeted Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata, but both attempts have failed. The Red Devils are also rumoured to be chasing Tottenham's Eric Dier, but the Spurs have very high demands. At the moment it seems that Jose Mourinho wants two more players and those would be midfielders Ivan Perisic and Nemanja Matic. "We always want more," Mourinho said. "We always feel there is room to improve, and I cannot say that I am happy with our transfer window. What I can also say is that it is a difficult transfer window and I don't blame anyone - it is just a reality of things. The market is going in such a direction that many players are difficult to get, not to say impossible. Every club is powerful and they don't want to sell or their demands are really high, so the market is difficult." "What I will say is that, a long time ago, we thought about four players to strengthen our squad, but it is really hard to do it," Mourinho added. "If we do the third and forget the fourth, I would be quite happy with that because I know it is difficult. At the moment we have Lukaku and Lindelof, two players I know well. I worked with one before and the other is from the Portuguese championship, which I follow every weekend. I am happy with them and I know that they will succeed at the club. The market ends on August 31, so there is plenty of time, but obviously, the objective for me as manager is always to have the players as soon as possible." Manchester United are 10/3 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title next season.
