Manchester United’s two biggest signings – Paul

Pogba and Romelu Lukaku – have both arrived in Jose

Mourinho’s 18 months

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says the

£300m he has spent on his squad so far is “not

enough” after their 2-2 draw with Burnley on

Tuesday.

Jesse Lingard scored an injury-time equaliser and

the draw leaves United 12 points behind leaders

Manchester City.

“We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a

football team that you know is not one of the best

teams in the world,” said the Portuguese.

“Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of

strikers,” he added.

Mourinho was appointed United boss in May 2016 and

broke the world record last summer to sign £89m

midfielder Paul Pogba, plus £30m defender Eric Bailly

and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for £26.3m.

This year’s big deal was £75m striker Romelu Lukaku,

as well as £31m defender Victor Lindelof and £40m

for midfielder Nemanja Matic.

“[Spending £300m] is not enough. The price for the big

clubs is different than for the other clubs. The big

historical clubs are normally punished in the market

because of that history,” he said.

“The boys are doing what they can and they are

doing fine.”

Mourinho was asked if eight points from the past five

games was good enough for a club like United.

He responded: “When you tell a club like Man Utd, do

you think Milan is not as big as us? You think Real

Madrid are not as big as we are?

“I know what a big club is. One thing is a big club

and another thing is a big football team. They are

two different things.

“When you speak about responsibilities to win the

Premier League, Tottenham doesn’t have that

responsibility because they are not a club with the

same history as us.

“Arsenal don’t have the responsibility to win it.

Chelsea don’t have the responsibility to win it. When

you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking

about the history of the club.”
