​REVEALED: Mourinho admits he wants these two players for Man Utd…

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed he wants to sign a wide player and a central midfielder before the season starts.

The Portuguese has stated that he wanted four players to be brought in this summer, but chief negotiator Ed Woodward has only managed to attain Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof.

Chelsea's Nemanja Matic is viewed as Mourinho's preferred option in midfielder, while a deal for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is still in negotiations. However, Mourinho believes it is more likely the club will only sign one or the other.

"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," he said.

"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."

Mourinho frustrated as Manchester United fail to seal Morata, Matic deals


Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, is becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of activity in the transfer market this summer.

With the pre-season tour starting on Sunday, United have only bought Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

After United won the Europa League final against Ajax in May, Mourinho publicly stated it was down to the executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, to ensure his targets were secured as soon as possible.

Six weeks later, no progress has been made in deals for Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata and Chelsea’s Nemanja Matic.

The Portuguese is however hopeful the transfers of the two players can be completed in time for the tour.

United play LA Galaxy on 16 July, Real Salt Lake City (18 July), Manchester City (21 July), Real Madrid (23 July), and Barcelona (27 July) in a hectic 11-day schedule, following a six-day training camp at in Los Angeles.
