No mention of Mourinho's latest words?
“I am not going to try to make you naive and believe that we are not trying for one player,” Mourinho told reporters in Shanghai.
“But we know first of all that the player belongs to another club, which is not a small club. It is also a big club, a club with economical power to fight for their best players, to try and keep their best players.
“When you go to the market, you have other options. You cannot focus on one, so we are in a very comfortable situation.
“My board doesn't need that the pressure come from the manager. My board needs to be calm, feel that we have other options.
“I really need for the balance of my squad a midfield player but we have more options.
“We have one space for a midfield player. Everybody speaks about one, but it wouldn't be a surprise for me if it is not him and it is another one because we went for profile.
“We have two more options in front of us and we are going to close one.
“We are not going to be in the hands of one club that may sell and maybe doesn't sell. We need a fourth player with a certain profile and we're going to get it.”
