Jose Mourinho wants two new recruits, but thinks he'll only be able to win one after providing Manchester United with a list of five transfer targets months ago as his frustration grows at Old Trafford.
Mourinho was not in a good mood Manchester United was beaten 4-1 by Premier League rivals Liverpool in the Champions Cup on Saturday.
United has been associated with a host of stars, but only Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant have arrived. No secret for his desire to see the club's hierarchy – led by Ed Woodward – bring reinforcements in his quest to catch reigning champions Manchester City this season.
"I would like to have two other players, I think I will not have two," Mourinho told reporters. "I think it's possible, I'll have one, and that one, I gave a list to my club of five names a few months ago." And I waited to see if it is possible to have one of these players.
"If that is possible. it is possible, if it is not the case. If it's possible, it's fine, otherwise we keep fighting, working and believing in the players we have. "

The Red Devils were deprived of their stars after the World Cup, with Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, David de Gea and Nemanja Matic – who will miss the start of the season due to injury – Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford enjoying the holidays.
"That It has nothing to do with the reinforcements, "said Mourinho Reinforcements are Pogba, [Marouane] Fellaini, [Victor] Lindelof, Rashford, Lingard, Matic, [Antonio] Valencia, they are reinforcements [19659002"ItisnotourteamthatisnotourteamWestartedthegamewithalmosthalfoftheplayerswhowillnotevenbepartofourteamonAugust9thTheywillnotbethere
"This is not our team." Reinforcements, you mean players that I would like to buy, add to the team.It's another thing, but this n & # 39; It's not my team, it's not even half of my team, or 30% so do not look at it
"You can ask me if I want new players again, is another question. But compared to today, we have four or five players who are dead because they care about the club and try to give everything, even to risk themselves, because they do not want to leave all children play alone against AC Milan, against Liverpool.

Alexis Sanchez sometimes seemed frustrated against Liverpool and Mourinho replied," Do you want to 39 he is very happy with the players that he has around him? We do not play here to improve the team or our dynamics or routines.We play here just to try to survive and d & # 39; to have not very ugly results
"Alexis is the only attacking player we have. We do not have wagons, we do not have scorers. He is the only one here, and the poor are there to do their best, with the frustration of someone who wants more. Against Milan, he played very well and did his best here. I do not think you're right to say that he's not happy. If he's not happy, he's not ready to play two consecutive games of 90 minutes and 85 minutes of work as he worked.
"For me, these guys are phenomenal in terms of attitude and respect for the club." Really happy with them. "
More than 100,000 fans attended the clash in Michigan, but Mourinho said: "The atmosphere was good, but if I were them I would not come in. I would not spend my money to see these teams."

"For example, I watched Chelsea against Inter on television today. The people there decided that the beach was better than that, so the stadium was empty.
"These people have shown how much they love their clubs, they just come to enjoy their clubs, it's fantastic, and why people like [Ander] Herrera and others have so much respect for the fans, and they give everything they have.
"The atmosphere was obviously fantastic. Two fantastic goals from Pereira de Shaqiri, but the referees came by mistake. They were called by the baseball federation and thought it was a baseball game, they came here and it was football! It was very amusing. "
