Mourinho: Manchester United and manager disagree on club matters
Manchester United’s official stance on the Premier League transfer window finishing before the start of the season has opposed Mourinho’s opinion.
Mourinho had previously said that his own personal opinion on the Premier League’s transfer window was in favour of it shutting before the first game of the season. Manchester United’s official vote however, has been revealed to be different to their current head coach.

Jose was all for business being completed before a ball was kicked in England’s top league and believed it would help avoid the chaos club’s go through right up until deadline day. Some players have managed to represent two different clubs in two different months because of the current rules.
While some fans were worried it would mean other top European clubs can prize away the Premier League’s most talented players after the transfer window was shut, Mourinho felt otherwise. The Manchester United boss clearly felt that the league is strong enough financially to refuse to bend to other club’s wills.
He also felt that other leagues would soon follow suit and so this issue may be avoided entirely. Either way, reports have been released that both Manchester club’s voted against the transfer window shutting before the season began with 14 of the Premier League’s teams voting in favour of the decision.
The rules will be changed starting from next season on so it appears that Mourinho will have his way nonetheless. Club’s in the Premier League will be forced to complete business the Thursday before the first round of fixtures begin. Should other European leagues follow, England will look like leaders in this matter and should Europe decide not to, their club’s will still be ok financially.
