Jose Mourinho has warned Manchester United face a “ difficult season ” if they do not strengthen their squad before the Premier League transfer window shuts on Thursday , AFP reports .
United ’ s build -up to the new campaign has been dominated by Mourinho’ s clear frustration over transfers , which has brought his relationship with executive vice -chairman Ed Woodward into the spotlight .

The only arrivals at Old Trafford this summer have been Brazil midfielder Fred , teenage full-back Diogo Dalot and back – up goalkeeper Lee Grant .

In sharp contrast, Champions League finalists Liverpool have spent more than £ 170 m on new signings including Brazil ’ s World Cup goalkeeper Alisson and midfielders Fabinho and Naby Keita .

“ My CEO knows what I want and I still have a few days to wait and see what happens , ” the Portuguese manager told

MUTV ahead of his side ’ s pre – season friendly defeat by Bayern Munich on Sunday .

“ The other clubs who compete with us are really strong and already have fantastic teams . Or they are investing massively like Liverpool , who are buying everything and everybody .

“ If we don’ t make our team better it will be a difficult season for us . ”

United were beaten 1 – 0 by Bayern at the Allianz Arena , five days before their Premier League campaign begins at home to Leicester .
