Mourinho: ‘United need more…’

Jose Mourinho hints Manchester United should meet Inter’s asking price for Ivan Perisic – “I’m waiting for a bit more”.

The Croatian winger wants to join the Red Devils, but the Nerazzurri have made it clear they won’t sell for less than €55m [£49m].

So far the English club have refused to meet that figure, and it appears their manager is growing frustrated.

“New signings? I don't know, I don't know. I am not in control of that,” Mourinho said after last night’s friendly win over Manchester City.

“The credit of [Romelu] Lukaku and [Victor] Lindelof to be here on time, the credit is not mine, it is Ed Woodward and his team.

“I thank him for that fantastic work to bring us two very important players for us.

“But we need a bit more when you see the other teams in the Premier League, like Man City, Liverpool and West Ham, the way they get players, good players, important players.

“The champions [Chelsea] have bought three fantastic experienced players.

“I am thinking about West Ham for the first match of the Premier League.

“They have got Joe Hart, Chicharito and Arnautovic. It looks like they are playing to win the Premier League too.

“The [other] teams are fantastic in the market. I am waiting for a bit more.”
