• Mourinho had hoped to sign a centre-back
Manchester United’s hopes of reinforcing their squad before Thursday’s 5pm transfer deadline appear to be over after José Mourinho said his latest information was that the club had been unable to secure any of their targets.
Mourinho said it was “time to stop thinking about the market” and, unless there is a dramatic change throughout the day, that means United will be trying to win their first Premier League title since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season without the new centre-half that the manager had identified as a priority.
