Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has full confidence in his current defensive options.

The Sun says he was heavily linked with Southampton captain and centre back Jose Fonte and Monaco's right back Fabinho.

But the reason he did not try to push through these deals was the belief that he already has the cover at Old Trafford.

And the impact those players, whether in the team or not have made on him.

It is why he is welcoming September as a chance to play all those who have been sat patiently on the bench or in the stands rather than bemoan the pile up.
