Jose whips United into real State
JOSE MOURINHO has laid down the law to his players ahead of Manchester United’s pre-season tour to America.
Old Trafford defender Phil Jones says Mourinho has spelled out exactly what he expects leading into the new season
“We know exactly what the manager wants from us and he knows the players inside and out,” said Jones.
“He’ll have organised this pre-season period exactly how he wants it – when we’ll train, when we’ll rest, and when we’ll have commercial work.”
United fly out to the west coast on Sunday to play Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona among others and Jones says they are eager to get started, especially considering the quality of the opposition.
He added: “The more matches you play, the more match-fit you are and seven games will give everyone a chance to get minutes under their belts.
“We’ve often played against these kinds of teams in pre-season and it’s exciting for the fans in the States.
“It’s also good for some of the young players who travel with us to experience matches like that.”
