Jose Mourinho, on tour with Manchester United in the USA, has told a news conference: "Our squad is not so big. Everybody knows, because I told the objective, I would like four players and I have asked for four players, and I am ready to go from four to three because the market is difficult."
Mourinho already has two of those signings, Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku, with the assumption being he is looking for additions in defensive midfield and on the wing. It is always tempting to dissect his words, and search them for greater meaning than they actually have -- mainly because, in the past, he has so often put out statements with barely veiled barbs.
