EPL: Mourinho takes another swipe at Man United’s board

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has taken another swipe at his United board by claiming that Everton have the ‘same ambition’ as the Red Devils this season.
United spent around £70m during the summer transfer window on Fred and Diogo Dalot but Mourinho was furious that his board failed to sign at least one centre-back.
United’s executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward overruled Mourinho’s defensive choices and the Red Devils had a slow start to the season, leaning in tenth position of the Premier League table.
Mourinho has made a number of digs at his board since the start of the season by praising West Ham’s scouting network and Juventus’ strength in depth.
However, the Portuguese claimed that his Sunday’s opponents, Everton have the same ‘ambition’ as United do.
“Incredible investment,” Mourinho was quoted by Metro UK when asked about Everton.
“We knew the club would move in that direction, very good players, players from Barcelona.
“So that is the level which Everton wants to reach. Their ambitions are very similar to our ambitions.”
The Toffees signed Yerry Mina from Barcelona during the summer transfer window who was also on United’s radar.
The centre-back had an impressive performance during the World Cup but he’s yet to make his debut for the Everton given the partnership between Kurt Zouma and Michael Keane.

Tottenham Coach, Pochettino Lays Foundation For Real Madrid Job

Mauricio Pochettino has already laid the foundations for his departure from Tottenham as reports link him with the vacant Real Madrid manager's role, according to former Manchester United defender Gary Neville. Spurs lost 1-0 to Manchester City at Wembley on Monday , a result that leaves them fifth in the Premier League, five points behind Pep Guardiola's men. The club failed to spend any money whatsoever in the summer, not recruiting a single player, while the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea both spent over £100 million ($131.5m). The Reds and the Blues, along with City, are unbeaten thus far this season, with the title race likely to feature at least three key players. And Neville thinks that, eventually, Pochettino will want to join a club that can give him the resources he needs to compete at the very top of the game, whether that is in England or further afield as rumours persist that he could replace Julen Lopetegui at Santiago Bernabeu . "Pochettino has always...
