Mourinho tells Manchester United targets to stop stalling
Published in Alriyadh on 01 - 04 - 2017

Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United's transfer targets to stop pontificating about English culture and sort out their priorities.
The United manager is flummoxed with an obsession over the club's northern location, in remarks which will doubtless prick up the ears of Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann.
Griezmann - who United have tracked for two years - claimed he has 'doubts' about the 'rain and bad weather' and has exchanged text messages with France team-mate Paul Pogba about the subject.
Mourinho is no longer certain of landing the forward - who has an £85.7million release clause - even though there remains confidence a deal can be agreed.
'If the first thing you think is where you're going to live, think Los Angeles - LA Galaxy would be the first choice, then Vitoria Setubal (in Portugal) - go to the beach every day,' Mourinho said.
'There are beautiful places to live. We want people who are really engaged by the first contact. We want people that if I call or Ed Woodward calls some guy or some agent we want people who are immediately engaged, immediately dreaming about coming.
'If you don't want to come to us? Good luck, enjoy. At the end of the summer we probably won't have exactly my first options because it's difficult to succeed in every attempt.
'But I'm sure that we are going to do something interesting. I'm not asking for impossible targets.'
A number of Mourinho's current squad are struck down by injuries ahead of today's visit of West Brom.
Defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones might not feature again this season after Mourinho confirmed both are suffering 'long-term' issues.
Jones's toe problem was caused by a Smalling tackle while away with England, and the manager is not sure when Pogba will return from his hamstring injury either.
Spanish playmaker Juan Mata will be out for several weeks after undergoing an operation on his groin.
Wayne Rooney is available, however, after missing United's last four games before the international break.
Mourinho suggested United cannot afford to lose any of their remaining 11 Premier League games if they are to break into the top four - even when only four points behind and boasting two games in hand.
'Every match is a big match for us now,' he added. 'Europa League is win the quarter-final or go home, in the Premier League, one more victory we are (still) in the run, one defeat maybe you are not in the run anymore.
'The players have to understand what the team needs, they have to go to the limits, they have to play with small injuries, they have to play with pain.'
