Gossip: Man United tell Jose Mourinho to forget ‘quick fixes’ in transfer market
All the latest transfer gossip following deadline day.
What the papers say
After being left frustrated by a lack of deadline-day activity, Jose Mourinho has reportedly been told there will be no more “quick fixes”, and that Manchester United need to become more like Manchester City in the transfer market. The Daily Mirror claims the United board have warned he must stop demanding over-priced older players to fill gaps, and instead focus on working with the club’s young talent and develop youth players.
With the European transfer window remaining open until the end of August, Tottenham’s Danny Rose is said to be holding out for a move to Paris St Germain rather than joining German club Schalke. According to the Sun, PSG are after a first-choice left-back, and remain Rose’s favoured option over last season’s Bundesliga runners-up, who approached Spurs over a potential loan move earlier this week.
