Mourinho: No rush for signings
Jose Mourinho has told Ed Woodward to "be cool" in the transfer market as he is very happy with his squad.
The Manchester United manager stated earlier in the summer that his ambition was for four signings but so far just three - Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic - have arrived.
Their lengthy chase of Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic looks to be over with the clubs unable to agree a fee.
But after watching his substitutes contribute to their opening day 4-0 thumping of West Ham, with Anthony Martial contributing a goal and an assist after coming on late in the second half, the Portuguese is in no panic to recruit more players.
"I don't think we are [going to sign anymore players], unless something happened that put us in the market again," he said.
"I told Mr Woodward that obviously my plans were four, but I also told him 'be cool, no pressure from me, do what you think is best for the club'.
"We will be together again for another transfer window in January and another next summer, so there is no pressure from me at all. I'm happy with the squad we have and I'm ready to go without the fourth player.
"If we are out of the market, I'm fine. I'm ready.
"I liked a lot. The fact the three subs - normally disappointed to be on the bench - even for five minutes like Jesse Lingard, 10 like Anthony Martial, 15 like Marouane Fellaini - they performed at the same level [as the starting XI].
"Even in the stands I had good players I didn't even select. I'm happy but its just the beginning. Last season we had three matches and nine points and we finished sixth, so I'm not going to lose my stability and my discipline because of the first day."
