Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about his concern for overpriced players and has said it is reaching a dangerous level.
“I always thought the problem is not what you pay for this kind of player, I don’t think the problem is what you pay for Pogba. I don’t think the problem is going to pay crazy for Neymar,” Mourinho told reporters in Washington DC, during their pre-season tour of America.
“I think the problem is with the other group, which is a big group because players like Pogba there are one or two big transfers like that per transfer window. The other ones are where you have 100 transfers, and for me that is the dangerous area of the transfer market.”
And Mourinho believes the best approach taken in the current window has come from Spurs, who have yet to make a signing and have accepted a £54m bid from Manchester City for Kyle Walker.
This news comes after a reported £160m deal with Mbappe moving to Real Madrid.
Manchester United have splashed out £106m this summer to sign Lukaku and Lindelof.
But Mourinho said in response “This season we spent a lot of money on a striker. If we don’t do that, we have no striker,”
“Next season we are not going to spend a lot of money on a striker. This season we had to do it. Investment is overall and it is every team.”
