Mourinho reveals expectations for deadline day
Jose Mourinho is not expecting anybody to join Manchester United before the transfer deadline.
Having signed Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant, the Portuguese hoped to bring in two more players but would have been satisfied with just one.
Mourinho had warned it would be a “difficult season” if United did not make any more acquisitions and it now looks like his side will miss out.
Asked if nothing would happen in or out before the Premier League deadline at 5pm, he said: “The information I have is no (nothing will happen).”
United had been hoping to sign a centre-back before the deadline but hope has faded in recent days.
“I am not confident,” Mourinho said.
“I am not confident, and the market closes today, so it’s time, at least for me, to stop thinking about the market because the market will be closed.”
