Mourinho in crisis over lack of signings... despite having spent €433 million Premier League Three signings this summer have cost €83m

Eleven days until the start of the Premier League for Manchester United against Leicester City and only 10 days until the transfer window shuts in England, Jose Mourinho is still missing some key ingredients.

The coach has not hidden his dismay at the club's lack of activity in the transfer market to date.

"I gave a list of five footballers I was interested in to the club months ago and none have come," he revealed.

"I'd like to have two more players, but I don't think that there will be two, I hope one will be possible."

In Michigan, after a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, Mourinho exploded as it added to three other pre-season friendlies without victory against America (1-1), San Jose (0-0) and AC Milan (1-1).

The lack of comprehension between the coach and Ed Woodward, the club's executive vice-president and transfer boss, is clear.

"One thing is what I want, another is what will happen," Mourinho recently said.

United have made three signings this summer with Fred joining from Shakhtar Donetsk for 59 million euros, Diogo Dalot costing 22m euros from Porto and Lee Grant joining from Stoke City for 2m euros.

The total sum of 83m euros is only beaten by Liverpool (195m euros) and West Ham United (95m euros) for spending this summer in the Premier League.

"Our level isn't the same as the squads of teams like Liverpool and Chelsea," Mourinho insisted as his complaints continued.

"We need signings and to keep our stars if we want to fight for the Premier League."

Since the former Real Madrid coach joined the club, he has spent 433m euros on 11 signings, only surpassed by six teams in those three seasons; Manchester City with 601m euros, Barcelona with 572m euros, Juventus with 571m euros, Paris Saint-Germain at 561m euros, Chelsea at 450m euros and Liverpool at 449m euros.

Harry Maguire of Leicester and Willian of Chelsea remain targets for the Red Devils, who have not won the Premier League since 2013.

"I don't even have 30 percent of the team, I want the boys who are on holiday to look after themselves," Mourinho said regarding the absentees on his pre-season tour.
