Mourinho hints at Pogba and Mkhitaryan deals
Mourinho further added: “I prefer to be more aggressive, to say that we want to win”.
He admitted his last season at Chelsea was a “disaster” before he was sacked but said he did not feel he had something to prove. I am a young manager.
Jose Mourinho insists Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford could forge an “amazing” partnership at Manchester United.
On Ryan Giggs: “The job that Ryan wanted is the club that the club chose to give me”.
“But I am not good at that, and I don’t want to be good”.
“It is not a dream job, it is reality as Manchester United manager but it is a job everyone wants and not many have a chance to have and I have it and I know the responsibility and the expectation”. The last time I won a title was a year ago. But I am not good at that aspect.
On advice from Sir Alex Ferguson: “He said bring the umbrella!”
Mourinho told journalists he felt “very well prepared” for the new role but admitted his frustration that the club will not be competing in the Champions League this season. “I want everything. Of course we are not going to get everything but we want to”. “To finish 4th is not the aim”. I can’t go – it is my nature.
The Portuguese manager had guided Chelsea to a Premier League and League Cup double in 2014-15 season. The former Chelsea manager, who was presented on Tuesday in his new post, said he knew “what was expected” and added that he would take on the “challenge that comes at the right time with a lot of motivation”. The last time I won a title was one year ago.
“Yes, his passing is awesome but mine is also unbelievable without pressure”. So when you are speaking about ‘Did I offer him a job?’.
Business may not be finished for the English club though, with Mourinho hinting they are looking to sign a fourth player. To be there, to put the ball in the net, is the most hard thing you have to find.
“If you focus on one team or one opponent then the other ones will be laughing so I won’t be a part of it”. There arrives a moment when you make a decision and Ryan made this decision. “He will be a nine, he will be a ten, a nine-and-a-half”. I am more a manager that likes specialists rather than multi-functional players because I am clear in my approach.
‘Ryan could be what he wanted in the club.
