Mourinho reveals the Red Devils will no longer be able to sign Gareth Bale, following their 2-1 loss to Los Blancos in the UEFA Super Cup.
United have only made three signings, but the Portuguese has previously expressed his desire to sign a winger in this transfer window. "Clearly the club wants him, the manager wants him and he wants the club, so for me it's game over," Mourinho told BT Sport. "Even before it started, but it's game over clearly because everybody knows he is going to stay." The Red Devils have been linked with Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic and Anderlecht's Leander Dendoncker, whose agent confirmed the player's desire to leave. According to Manchester Evening News, United are also interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur full-back, Danny Rose. However, it remains to be seen if Spurs will allow another key player to leave, following the sale of Kyle Walker to Manchester City.
