Mourinho on Giggs

Mourinho says that is Ryan Giggs comes back during his time at the club, he will welcome him back. He wishes him 'good luck'

What advice did Alex Ferguson give you?

Bring the umbrella and yesterday I couldn't believe it was raining at the training ground. It was great advice.

The second one was to bring my typical bottle of wine because now we will have many occasions to be together.

He will always be welcome to the training ground and we will have a lot of time to share a lot of our personal stuff. His opinion is an important opinion for me.

This season will be mouth watering....

Mourinho on Rooney

In football there are many jobs on the field. I think the one that is more difficult to find is the guy that puts the ball in the net. Players change their characteristics during the years and it is normal that a player at that age changes a little bit.

But there is something you will never change and that is the natural appetite to put the ball in the net.

So maybe he is not a striker anymore, a No 9, but with me he is never a No 6, playing 50 metres from the goal. He will be a 9, a 10, a nine and a half. But not 6, not even 8.

End of press conference

And with that, the first press conference comes to a close.

Some interesting points there from Mourinho - they won't just be aiming for fourth place this season, but to win some silverware.

He says he has nothing to lose despite his acrimonious departure from Chelsea last December.

He says the club had four transfer targets at the start of the summer and they have now signed three of them.

Mourinho defended his record of bringing through players from the academies of the clubs he has worked at - produces a list of 49 players.

He says Alex Ferguson advised him to bring an umbrella and his best bottle of wine.

Giggs left under his own accord, it was nothing to do with him.

adeyemi2015:
No wonder Giggs rarely showed emotion or care when we were losing games, playing boring Footie!

GBR1:
Good. Rooney must not play in midfield, confirmed.

SailorXY:

Don't excite your man-boobs with perceived smartness.
Why will you be rejected by Chester5 when you didn't even approach her?

GBR1:
Jose really exposed Rooney. I would post the quotes shortly or can someone help me with them?
The exact quotes.

SailorXY:

Elxandre:

Matuidi has nothing on Pogba, but he wouldn't be a bad addition.
I actually like him.

"You can tell me his pass is amazing but my pass is amazing too without pressure."



GBR1, I guess this is what you were looking for

We still need to sort out the midfield.
