Jose Mourinho Lays Out Summer Transfer Plans

Fresh from guiding Manchester United to success at Wembley yesterday, José Mourinho has major plans to further strengthen his squad this summer after winning his first major trophy for his new club by beating Southampton in the EFL Cup final.

Roy Keane has challenged Manchester United to win some big games on manager Jose Mourinho’s watch after insisting his old club have “beaten no one in three months”. “I feel very happy with the victory and the fact I did it four times, the same as Ferguson and Clough”.

“I try to put myself secondary, but the truth is it was important for me”.

He only won the bloody tournament for Manchester United. He said: ‘It is special, not about age, I was not anxious about age because I know what I am able to do. It’s something that happened.

How many more titles will Ibrahimovic and Mourinho win in Manchester? “It’s finished. It’s a sense of relief”.

“I’m an animal”, he said. “But sometimes you get bad decisions”.

Puel was proud of his players but upset at the disallowing of what would have been Gabbiadini’s first goal.

The 35-year-old Swede opened the scoring in the 19th minute from a free-kick.

The Saints halved the deficit on the brink of half-time through Gabbiadini’s close-range finish. The Italian forward struck on the cusp of half-time and levelled quickly after the restart to set up a tense contest, only for Ibrahimović to nod in Ander Herrera’s cross with three minutes remaining.

Asked by a television reporter if something special was unfolding at United, Ibrahimovic replied: “I came”.

Lucrative offers from China and MLS as well as a return to one of his former clubs have all been touted, and as we have seen this season, Ibrahimovic can continue to play for a top side in Europe if he chooses.

“I have an objective every season I go into and to reach that objective I need to train hard and I need to suffer when I train”. But if needed, the fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night.

“I was his manager”. I know the potential.

Should Zlatan be doing better with all that creativity in behind him? “Not me or you”.
