Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho met the media a few hours ago to preview Saturday’s match against Southampton FC. We have video of the media session for you here below via YouTube.
There were a whole host of topics covered in this news conference, including: the transfer market as a whole, Liverpool buying Virgil van Dijk, Jurgen Klopp’s comments 18 months ago about United’s Paul Pogba purchase, and much much more. Here’s the whole session, which runs about 9 minutes.
He also discussed the striker situation, as Romelu Lukaku is tired, but Mourinho said he can’t rest him. He then got into a discussion about playing Lukaku and Ibrahimovic together, and if Zlatan is ready.
