Jose Mourinho urged Manchester United bosses to wrap up the club’s transfer business as quickly as possible after new signing Romelu Lukaku scored again in a 2-0 win over Manchester City on Thursday.
Lukaku, who joined United last week from Everton in a British record transfer, bagged his second goal in as many starts while teenager Marcus Rashford also scored at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
Afterwards a satisfied Mourinho expressed delight with the way that Lukaku and fellow new recruit, defender Victor Lindelof, had settled in at the club.
But the Portuguese manager, who wants to sign at least one more player, said he hoped further transfer deals could be completed rapidly.
“When I look to the team and Lukaku, Lindelof, I would like my squad to be here, my whole squad,” Mourinho said. “If you manage to get one more player – I’m not even crying for two – if we get one player, as soon as possible.
“Because we can see Lindelof is in the team, Lukaku is in the team. The understanding between the players, the Paul (Pogba) pass, the way Lukaku holds the ball.”
United face two more matches in the United States before heading back to Europe, with a game against Real Madrid in Santa Clara tomorrow followed by a game against Barcelona in Maryland next week.
“Ten days of work, two more matches here in USA and then we go to Europe,” Mourinho said.
“But I am happy with everything, the social life of the team is really good, fantastic people in the group, the new guys arrive and are at home and have settled in immediately.” –
