Jose Mourinho has sent out a message of intent to Ed Woodward about how the club’s transfer business has been handled so far.

The Red Devils have been able to complete the acquisitions of Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku from Benfica and Everton respectively.

But the expected arrival of a third new signing is yet to happen and that has seen Mourinho voice his slight frustration.

“We always want more,” Mourinho told ESPN

“We always feel there is room to improve, and I cannot say that I am happy with our transfer window.

“What I can also say is that it is a difficult transfer window, and I don’t blame anyone — it is just a reality of things.

“The market is going in such a direction that many players are difficult to get, not to say impossible.

“Every club is powerful, and they don’t want to sell or their demands are really high, so the market is difficult.”

At the moment, Ivan Perisic appears to be the man whom the United manager is most interested in bringing to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are set to kick off their 2017/18 Premier League season at home to West Ham in less than a month.
