Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is against the Premier League setting their own transfer deadline.

Mourinho was asked about the plan yesterday.

He remarked: “My opinion is that we have to adapt to the situation, no matter what.

“As a football manager and not a marketing man, just as someone who wants to work with the team and with players, I would prefer the window to close as soon as possible, so everyone knows the players we have, and the deals will be done earlier and nobody will be waiting for the last week and we wouldn't have a situation we sometimes have with players playing game No.1 for one team and game No.2 for another."
