Manchester United: Jose Mourinho Says £300m Spent Not Enough (23999 Views)

Manchester United's two biggest gs - Paul
Pogba and Romelu Lukaku - have both arrived in Jose
Mourinho's 18 months
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says the
£300m he has spent on his squad so far is "not
enough" after their 2-2 draw with Burnley on
Tuesday.
Jesse Lingard scored an injury-time equaliser and
the draw leaves United 12 points behind leaders
Manchester City.
"We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a
football team that you know is not one of the best
teams in the world," said the Portuguese.
"Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of
strikers," he added.
Mourinho was appointed United boss in May 2016 and
broke the world record last summer to sign £89m
midfielder Paul Pogba, plus £30m defender Eric Bailly
and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for £26.3m.
This year's big deal was £75m striker Romelu Lukaku,
as well as £31m defender Victor Lindelof and £40m
for midfielder Nemanja Matic.
"[Spending £300m] is not enough. The price for the big
clubs is different than for the other clubs. The big
historical clubs are normally punished in the market
because of that history," he said.
"The boys are doing what they can and they are
doing fine."
Mourinho was asked if eight points from the past five
games was good enough for a club like United.
He responded: "When you tell a club like Man Utd, do
you think Milan is not as big as us? You think Real
Madrid are not as big as we are?
"I know what a big club is. One thing is a big club
and another thing is a big football team. They are
two different things.
"When you speak about responsibilities to win the
Premier League, Tottenham doesn't have that
responsibility because they are not a club with the
same history as us.
"Arsenal don't have the responsibility to win it.
Chelsea don't have the responsibility to win it. When
you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking
about the history of the club."

Jose Mourinho should meet Buhari so can equally break the savings of Manchester United to borrow $1billon dollars or 5trillon naira for purchase of players. £300,000 still fumbling and talking...how much did Burney spend since may, 2016 to hold you at home?

He is just a pathetic sour loser, when the season started and he was winning he never complained, he was feeling on top of the world, now he discovered his tactics can't save Man Utd he is talking crap!

Keep on playing negative football and that defensive nonsense while Man City shows you that your time is over and Pep shows you that he is the best now. Arrogant sour loser!

Mou's tactics are outdated, when Pep was going for skilled and creative players, Mou was going for brutte force in players to suit his rugby football. Take a look at how Pep transformed De bruyne, Sané and Sterling into the beasts they are now. Mou is good at one thing once he is being humiliated, he gives excuses!

Does he have to spend the equivalent of the United Nations budget on transfers before he can match Manchester City and defending champions Chelsea.



Give Jurgen Klopp, Maurincho Pochettino or even Antonio Conte this exact Manchester United squad.
They will take it with enormous gratitude and beat Leicester City and Burnley silly (recent match Mourinho has drawn) .


Mourinho is so overrated.
Give him Manchester City squad with all that attacking talents, he will still adopt a defensive tactics when playing against a direct rival.

Someone that was playing 6-3-1 with a Real Madrid squad that had Ronaldo, Di Maria,Ozil, Rodriguez, Modric, Higuain, Benzema and Co

I used to like this Mourinho but now he seems to have lost it. All he does now is blame his players, referees and opposition; he's thinking reputation wins games. Football is changing and he's stuck in the past just like wenger.

Oloriburuku somebody. Imagine Man Utd playing negative football against West Brom of all clubs?? Made me lose my corner betting..

By the way before Pep in England, most were saying he can't create and break such records in England. See what's he's done? Now that's a coach...

EPL is overrated jare...

The problem with Man U is Lukaku. He is a sharp and intelligent striker. And Mouriho is too proud and stubborn to it that Lukaku is short one to Man U...........What's my own...Chelsea for life!

Mourinho is like Buhari.
Never accepting responsibility.
Always blaming others for their incompetence.
How such people managed to be leaders is a phenomenon deserving of careful scrutiny.

Mourinho is spot on, is just that united fans are too myopic to it their squad is bang average. No single man united player can make mancity starting eleven (maybe pogba can), That is to show you how bad the squad is.

Is that not the same way that many Nigerians, including the sai change change chanters, are regretting the day- March 28, 2015- when they hired Buhari and APC with their votes?
No fuel.
No power.
No jobs.
No money.
Buhari and APC do not fit the desires of Nigerians.

Sour loser or not, he's saying the fact. Give Guardiola the same team United had and let's see if he'll be so special after all. Guardiola inherited a team they've spent multi-millions on, a team Pellegrini used to win Epl and reach UCL semis just before Guardiola came in and he couldn't do sh*t with them last season, he had to spend another 430Million of his own, so...Yeah United has also spent but in comparison, united don't stand chance, they must spend more...It's a shame, average players now cost so much, talk-less superstars, but when you are a big club that must challenge for the title in modern football, you must shell the Cash to get the players that fits the status.
