Jose Mourinho has admitted he is not happy with Manchester United's business in the transfer window – and wants more arrivals before it closes.

United have landed Romelu Lukaku from Everton for £75million and Victor Lindelof from Benfica in a deal worth £30m, but Mourinho said he needs to continue to strengthen.

“We always want more,” said Mourinho. “We always feel there is room to improve, and I cannot say that I am happy with our transfer window.

“What I can also say is that it is a difficult transfer window and I don't blame anyone - it's just a reality of things.

“The market is going in such a direction that many players are difficult to get, not to say impossible.

“Every club is powerful and they don't want to sell or their demands are really high, so the market is difficult.”

“Everton started really strong in the market without the Lukaku money. AC Milan, without selling players, are buying non-stop, so it depends on the moment, the objective, maybe on new owners.”

Mourinho identified four players to strengthen his squad, with United trying to push through deals for Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic and Tottenham's Eric Dier, with Chelsea's Nemanja Matic also a target.

“What I will say is that, a long time ago, we thought about four players to strengthen our squad, but it is really hard to do it,” said Mourinho.

“If we do the third and forget the fourth, I would be quite happy with that because I know it is difficult.

“At the moment we have Lukaku and Lindelof, two players I know well. I worked with one before and the other is from the Portuguese championship, which I follow every weekend.

"At the moment we have Lukaku and Lindelof, two players I know well. I worked with one before and the other is from the Portuguese championship, which I follow every weekend.

“I am happy with them and I know that they will succeed at the club.

“The market ends on August 31, so there is plenty of time, but obviously, the objective for me as manager is always to have the players as soon as possible and try to coach them in the team and develop the team with them and Lukaku and Lindelof arrived to train in time for day one.”
