Man Utd boss Mourinho praises Wolves for market work

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has praised Wolves for their market work.

United host Wolves at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Mourinho said, “Really good, last season dominant, and we all know that it's not easy to be dominant in Championship, even if you have the best team, and they were dominant since the beginning until the end.

“Then they had a strong market, great work, great adaptation to the Premier League, getting the points and the performances that makes them feel and everybody feel, I include myself, that they are going to have a very stable season, very far from the problems normally a team that comes from the Championship has.

“I don't speak with him [his agent Jorge Mendes] for quite a long time to be honest, but when we speak we don't speak about my job or his job, he's my agent and that's it, but I think the work in Wolves is good because is not just about Portuguese influence, Portuguese manager, staff and players.

“It's also about getting the right ones and I think they got good young players and got also good experienced, stable players, so they got this season, the Portugal national team goalkeeper, Joao Moutinho, one of the players of the 100 caps club, big stability in the team, the young ones are young boys with good potential and you can see the work of the coaching staff and the team is a really really good team."
