Mourinho wants one more signing and insists Martial is key for Manchester United

Jose Mourinho says he is happy with Manchester United's transfer window but remains in the hunt for one more signing.

United have brought in Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic for a combined sum of nearly £150million since the end of last season.

"It's going to be good, it's going to be fun to choose the team for every match according to the plan, the opponent, our game-plan," he told a news conference following United's 2-1 friendly win over Sampdoria in Dublin.

"The squad is good and as I said a few months ago, I was hoping for four players to improve the squad.

"The club did a fantastic job by getting three of them, which is very difficult in the crazy market we're in now. I thank the club. I'll be happier if they give me four of four but they did a great effort."

"Everybody is in the plan – the plan is not to have a good team, but a good squad, with options," he said. "We have important players injured for a long time and they will be back by the end of the year, so our squad is not so big.

"We need options. Lukaku, Martial, [Marcus] Rashford – all of them are different players. We need everyone."
