I have identified good players to help United win trophies next season – Mourinho

Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho says he has already identified the “two or three good players” he wants in the summer to push the club to the next level.

United are in contention for Champions League qualification and could be crowned the EFL Cup champions today.

They are also involved in the FA Cup and Europa League but are far behind Chelsea in the Premier League title race.

The former Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss thinks some new arrivals will give United “the next push” they need to challenge at a higher level.

The Portuguese gaffer told Sky Sports, “I think with this group of players, the squad we have and the difficulties we are having during the season, I think we are more than fine.

“I think we will be ready in July to open the door for two or three good players to help us to improve our level. You reach a certain level of stability, you find your way to play, your philosophy and this is very important. We are stable in the way the team plays and we need one more push.

“The next push is the next transfer window. We didn’t use it in the winter and we are obviously going to use it in the summer and trust the players we have.

“Like Mr Woodward was saying, we will keep a huge percentage of the players we have at this moment in the squad. We need the next push.”
