Mourinho on not having whole squad present, "Yes the preseason is very bad, I have to say that. The only positive of this preseason is for the young boys who can train with us and have the chance to know what it is to be a Manchester United first team player."
"I would say the only other positive is for a coaching staff with three new personnel, it's very good for them not to start with the whole group right away and adapt to working with me. The facilities and organisation are fantastic."
"De Gea, Matic and Fred will come next week but everything is really bad. Then we go to the UK and have to play the PL and the broadcasters weren't nice for us by giving us the complicated Friday match. Honestly, I'm worried."
"I'm worried because we aren't training and then we go to the Premier League without players. Maybe it's good for Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly and Andreas Pereira. We have to try and take the positives."
Mourinho on Sanchez, "I don't know, it's not good for him, for the team or for me. There isn't anyone to blame. The club is making the effort and I have to respect the US authorities. Hopefully he can join us later."
"If Alexis isn't working with us for 15-20 days it will be very bad."
Mourinho on new signings, "I have no idea. I really don't know. We signed Lee Grant because we have a really fantastic young goalkeeper who needs to go on loan. Lee protects that position. I really believe Joel is a Manchester United goalkeeper."
"We lost Carrick and we think Fred is the kind of player we need to complement the qualities of our midfield players."
"Dalot is injured but we knew that. We didn't want to lose him because of that. I think he'll be ready to start training when we go back to the UK. He'll be back in September." (so yeah you can take him off your start line-ups)
Mourinho on Pogba, "I did with Paul what I did with all my players, sent them a nice message before the World Cup. I then leave them alone during the tournament, they have to focus on their job. After the World Cup I then sent them different messages."
Mourinho on Deschamps, "I'm pleased for him, congratulations to him. I know how it must have felt for him to lose a Champions League and European championship final, but winning a World Cup makes up for everything."
Mourinho back on Pogba, "Winning the World Cup can only be a positive thing. So many good players never get that chance. For Paul I think it's his first World Cup and to win it is fantastic. It's a young team aside from Giroud and Lloris, they have more tournaments to play."
"I hope that he understands why he was very good. That's the point about his performance level and contribution to a winning team. It's important for him to understand why he was so good."

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
