Jose Mourinho insists one more player is on the way to Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho says Manchester United will make at least one more summer signing, and wants the deal done soon - but he is not yet prepared to discuss if Paul Pogba is the player in question.
Mourinho has urged United to sign his final priority target before the start of the Premier League season.
The club are understood to be finalising Pogba's £100m transfer from Juventus, with the France midfield star currently finishing his holiday in the USA and preparing to fly to England.
United played out a drab goalless draw with Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial at Old Trafford on Wednesday but, afterwards, Mourinho refused to confirm anything other than that Pogba is still a Juve player.
He said: "We are going to sign one more player, that's for sure.

"I don't want to speak about Paul Pogba because he is a Juventus player and I don't like other managers speaking about my players. I don't speak about their players.
"But the reality is we are going to sign one more player. The market closes on August 31, so we have plenty of time to do that, but obviously I would like to do it before the Premier League season starts."

Mourinho will take his team to Wembley next for the Community Shield match against Leicester this weekend.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ on Wednesday, former United star Phil Neville insisted Pogba is worth the potential world-record £100m transfer fee.
But it remains to be seen whether the 23-year-old will take part in the clash with Leicester on Sunday August 7.

Zlatan holds back the clock but time's up for Rooney

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him. "Honestly I don't think so,” he said of Rooney’s chances of recovering in time. “Let's see. It's not a big deal but in four days I have my doubts." He probably wouldn’t start anyway, not the way United are p...

James Milner: From bit part at City to big shot at Liverpool

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...
