EPL: Mourinho tells Man United how to reach Juventus, three other clubs’ level

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has advised his club to start
buying the best players in the world if they want to attain the level
of Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Mourinho stated this following his side's Champions League 1-0 loss to
Juventus on Tuesday night.

A first-half goal from forward, Paulo Dybala, was enough to earn the
Serie A champions all three points at Old Trafford on English soil.

"Man United is a bit far from Juventus. Juventus are champions of
Italy for seven years in a row, two Champions League finals in the
last four or five years and they are not happy with what they have,
they want more," TalkSport quoted Mourinho as saying at post-match.

"They had (Gonazlo) Higuain, (Mario) Mandzukic, Dybala, they want
more. They want Ronaldo. They had (Andrea) Barzagli, Chiellini,
(Daniele) Rugani, they are not happy, they want more, they want
Bonucci, and they go for the best players in the world.

"How can you reach this level? It's not easy. We work with what we
have. We try to improve.

"To go to the Juventus level? Barcelona level? Real Madrid level?
Manchester City level? How can you reach this level? Yes [by buying
the best players]. It is not easy because many of the players they
belong to these top teams, so we work with what we have and we try to
improve with what we have.

"For example today – I saw the amazing Chiellini and amazing Bonucci
but I have to say Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelöf had a very
positive game [also at centre-back]. It is the first time Victor plays
a game of this dimension and Victor had a positive game; Luke Shaw
also in the Champions League at this level of match."

Mourinho's men will take on Everton this weekend in the Premier League
fixture at Old Trafford.
