Jose Mourinho has expressed his desire to keep all his players in Manchester United squad during summer transfer window.
Club captain Michael Carrick has already confirmed that he is going to retire at the end of the season and take up a position on Mourinho’s coaching stuff next term.
The boss has stated that besides Carrick he has no wish to lose anyone. He also stressed that Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind are part of his plans for 2018/19.
What I can say is the same I said in relation to Darmian and Daley Blind – I want to keep them. The only player that is leaving, for sure, is Michael [Carrick], who we have to replace with another player.
“There is not another one that in my reports to the board and to the owners I said I want to sell – not one. There is not one player that I want to sell, but it's the same story that I told in relation to Matteo and Daley.
“When a player wants to leave, if he's out of contract, he can [leave]. When he has a contract, he cannot [leave] and we have to analyse what they bring to us. But, until this moment, no players have spoken with us about wanting to leave. No players have spoke with us about it and, from that, I don't think I have to answer to you in a more objective way,” Mourinho said.
