Jose Mourinho needs two more transfer windows to fix Manchester United

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes he will need at least two more transfer windows to fix his ‘broken’ squad at Old Trafford. United’s draw with Arsenal this weekend made it one win in six in the league, and that came against bottom-of-the table Swansea City before the international break. Despite a heavy summer of spending with big names like Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan coming in, the Red Devils’ squad still seems some way off fulfilling its potential. Mourinho is keen for further additions in key areas over the next couple of transfer windows, and believes it will take time for the changes the club needs to really take effect, according to the Daily Record. The Portuguese tactician also still feels he is having to make do with a number of failed signings from the David Moyes and Louis van Gaal eras, where several experienced heads from the Sir Alex Ferguson reign were ushered out of the club. ‘We need quality players, but you can not do it in one to two transfer windows,’ a source close to Mourinho explained. ‘You cannot buy four or five players in one go of the level that we need.’ Man Utd v Feyenoord (Europa) – Thu 24 Nov Man Utd v West Ham – Sun 27 Nov Man Utd v West Ham (EFL Cup) – Wed 30 Nov Everton v Man Utd – Sun 4 Dec Zorya Luhansk v Man Utd (Europa) – Thu 8 Dec Man Utd v Tottenham – Sun 11 Dec
