Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his delight at how well his side's pre-season tour has gone so far.

United usually travel long distances from England for their pre-season campaign and this summer has been no different as the Red Devils have been preparing for the upcoming season in various cities of the United States.

Previous United manager Louis van Gaal was vehemently against his players travelling so much during pre-season but Mourinho has revealed that the current tour of the United States has been a very successful one in terms of the scheduling.

Mourinho said: "It is not a concern [to have a post-match flight again]. For us there is not a lot of travel. We have organised the pre-season so we are based in LA for 11 days, which is fantastic. We are always in the same hotel, the same training ground. The flights are quite short flights.

"Now we are on our way back home. We are here and now we go to DC, which is halfway home almost. In terms of jet lag it is halfway home. These next three days in DC are not a problem.

"After that we have two more matches to play in Norway and Ireland, travelling on the same day with short flights. I am really happy with our pre-season. If Mata and Ander are not long-term problems then I would say it is perfect."
