Jose Mourinho confirms where Anthony Martial will play next season

Jose Mourinho has reacted to Anthony Martial‘s transfer talk, claiming he’s happy with his group of players at Manchester United.

Ivan Perisic has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, however, recent reports claim Inter Milan are only willing to drop their unjustifiable fee if Martial is included in a deal.

Man United were hoping to sign Perisic before the Serie A side flew out for the pre-season tour of China but with Inter demanding around £50m for his services, they’re hoping Ed Woodward will cave in and meet their demands.

Speaking about the situation, Mourinho claimed he needed options with different players.

“Everybody is in the plan – the plan is not to have a good team, but a good squad, with options,” he said. “We have important players injured for a long time and they will be back by the end of the year, so our squad is not so big.

“We need options. Lukaku, Martial, [Marcus] Rashford – all of them are different players. We need everyone.”
