Mourinho believes Liverpool are ‘trying to buy the title’
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes Liverpool “are trying to buy the title”.
United finished above Liverpool last season, runners-up to distant Premier League champions Manchester City, and spent just over £70million in the summer.
Liverpool, who finished fourth, spent twice as much and ended the summer as the top-flight’s highest spenders.
Mourinho has been eager to point that out at numerous times over the past few months, and did the same before a directionless United lost to Brighton on Sunday.
“I think Liverpool are trying to buy the title, but when I say buying I mean ‘buying’ with amazing investment,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
“Chelsea has a fantastic squad, City have a fantastic squad too.”
“And Tottenham made an incredible investment too by keeping their players.
“That’s the best investment they could make because they could be having to spend £200million if they lose Harry Kane and Eriksen. The biggest investment was keeping their players.
“Arsenal will be better too, despite losing their first match. I think it’s going to be a very hard season.”
