The Portuguese coach said he needed "six new players, not three" after United beat Leicester City 2-1 in their opening Premier League fixture

Manchester United's new season felt like a a continuation of last season's: a victory by the slimmest of margins and complaints from Jose Mourinho to the press. Just after his side beat Leicester City 2-1, the Portuguese coach cut an upset figure in front of the Sky Sports cameras about the lack of new faces through the door at United.

“For us it will be a difficult season because I had my plans, and I had my plans for many months, and I started the Premier League season without a situation I thought." The only arrivals at United were Fred, Dalot and third choice goalkeeper Lee Grant.

Mourinho also questioned the role he has at the club. Normally, in England, managers have control over team selection and transfers. However Jose doesn't believe this to be the case any more. "I think football is changing and probably football managers should be called head coaches. I think we are more the head coach than the manager."

“We played against a team that invest more than us. They spent more money than us, so in the Premier League we must get used to teams with players of the same quality that we have. Forget the name, the history, the shirt, every match is difficult." And Mourinho, clearly still upset, finished on this note: "I think it's the last time we speak about it, it's over, finished, the market is closed and no more talk about it.”
