United Spent $515M During Jose Mourinho\'s Tenure On His Choices 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 13, 2019 3:33 pm

Sources say Manchester United spent approximately £400 million on the transfer market during the tenure of Jose Mourinho with all of the players selected being choices of his.

Mourinho, however, argued consistently that United have failed to keep up with the \"financial and strategic\" support offered to his key rivals at Liverpool and Manchester City.

Ed Woodward was forced to tell Mourinho that they wouldn\'t push to sign Jerome Boateng from Bayern due to his injury history.

Mourinho was publicly upset with United\'s inability to sign a center back ahead of the 18-19 season.

Club employees routinely found Mourinho difficult to deal with, privately commenting he was \"high maintenance.\"
