Mourinho: 'We don't need more attackers'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seemingly rules out any more attacking additions in the summer, despite being linked with Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he will not be in the market for any more attacking players when the summer transfer window opens.

United have so far brought in Romelu Lukaku, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and, most recently, Alexis Sanchez during Mourinho's tenure, but reports continue to link the Red Devils with the likes of Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Mourinho has seemingly ruled out a blockbuster attacking transfer this summer, claiming that he is happy with the options currently at his disposal.

"We have Alexis, Lukaku, [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford. Rashford can play on the left and the right, Alexis is exactly the same. All of them apart from Lukaku can play from ­behind as the second striker," he told reporters.

"That's why I say that it's bad for you (the press) because you like to have things to write about, especially in the summer.

"But I don't want attacking players, so don't speak about attacking players who are coming here because nobody is coming here."

January arrival Sanchez marked his home debut for the club by scoring his first United goal during Saturday's 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
