Jose Mourinho has admitted he has no idea if Manchester United are going to sign any new players this summer.<\/p>\n

So far, the Red Devils have spent \u00a375million on Brazil international Fred, Portugal Under-21 starlet Diogo Dalot and Stoke City shot-stopper Lee Grant.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMourinho has \u2018no idea\u2019 if Manchester United will be doing more business in this transfer window\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, with United\u2019s pre-season well underway without several key players<\/a>, the former Chelsea manager was relatively in the dark about any new arrivals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve no idea,\u2019 Mourinho said at United\u2019s training base in LA. \u2018I\u2019m not going to lie to you.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to say somebody is coming or nobody is coming. We did Lee Grant because we have a fantastic young goalkeeper (Joel Pereira) who needs to play football.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoel is a Manchester United goalkeeper but, two years without football, he has to play. And to protect that position we got Lee with experience in Championship and Stoke City in the Premier League, so he is ready to fulfil that position.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoel is here with us. It\u2019s good for him to play but then he will go on loan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transfer window began strongly for the club, snapping up Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred for around \u00a352 million.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, business has slowed somewhat, with just the two new players coming in.<\/p>\n

But the Portuguese boss remained defiant despite the slow business, suggesting he is happy with the players he has brought in so far.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cFred we did quite a long time ago. We started the process. We lost Michael Carrick and I think Fred is the kind of player we need to complement the qualities of our midfield players.<\/p>\n

\u201cDalot is injured, a small injury, a small surgery. We didn\u2019t want to lose him because of that, and he\u2019s recovering really well. We think he can start training back in England, not ready for start of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
