José Mourinho refused to know if Manchester United could fight for the title without any other additions to his team.
Mourinho said Monday that he wanted two new recruits to bring Fred, a midfielder for £. 55m, and Diogo Dalot, a back for £ 19m, during the summer. When asked if the existing United team was good enough to claim the title, the manager replied, "I do not answer your question."
States – they face Milan here Thursday – due to a high number of its missing front-line players due to World Cup post-breaks. Mourinho believes this could hinder his team before the Premier League campaign, which will start against Leicester City at Old Trafford on August 10th.
The Portuguese were reluctant to admit that some of United's rivals also had key employees on vacation. "If you look at the players that Chelsea and Liverpool have [available] in the pre-season, especially those two teams, also Arsenal – if you compare, you see the difference in the situation." Manchester City and Tottenham are in the same situation than us, but you can see that other clubs are in a different situation, "he said:" The first game of the season is against Leicester and the second against Brighton, and I'm looking at Leicester, if I'm not mistaken, only [Harry] Maguire and [Jamie] Vardy were in the World Cup in the finals, because [Kasper] Schmeichel was back sooner so a team that works for six weeks minimum with all players except a defender and an attacker who can join the last weekend and who will probably be available: it is clear that it is a much better situation for them. "
I think in Brighton I do not think that they have a jo who does not do a very good preseason with a lot of training and matches. So, against Leicester and Brighton, the situation is not incredible for us. I would say the third match, playing against a team [Tottenham] in a situation similar to that of us, so after three weeks it's OK. But for the first two games, we have to fight for points, so that's what we are going to do with the available players. "
Marcos Rojo is a player who can not join the Mourinho team in the United States." I do not know, he is in medical service, in touch since the World Cup, where he had a physical problem, "confirmed the manager." The medical department must make a decision whether he joins us or whether he is going to Manchester for recovery. "
Regarding his purchase Major from summer to present, Mourinho added: "Fred is a technical player and have him in the team, people love [Nemanja] Matic, [Marouane] Fellaini, [Paul] Pogba, even Ander [Herrera] are physical, strong.
"We think that a player like Fred, Andreas Pereira, is more technical, more quality by the way, playing in short spaces, maybe connecting with the attacking players, we thought that it's not a problem. he could be an important player for us. "
