Mourinho criticizes Premier League clubs for 'wastefulness'

(Baonghean.vn) - The strategist currently leading Man United has expressed concern when teams are willing to spend from 30 to 50 million pounds very easily.

Although when arriving at Old Trafford, J. Mourinho had spent a lot of money to bring in Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku for 89 million pounds and 75 million pounds. However, he did not like the transfer fees that his opponents set for players who were not world class.

The Portuguese coach told national newspapers: "I always think that with the world's top stars like Pogba or Neymar, their high transfer value is not a problem. There are only a few cases of real value like Pogba signed in a transfer window, the remaining 100 transfers are at risk.

Some clubs are paying or refusing to pay because they don't accept the imbalance in the market for players. Or to do that they have to be of the same level as me. That worries me because they are now spending £30m, £40m, £50m so easily."

This summer, Man United, Man City and Chelsea have all spent a lot of money on player transfers. Of these, only Tottenham has not really spent much. Although Tottenham accepted to sell Kyle Walker for 50 million pounds, they still kept their best quality players at the club. They even refused Mourinho's offer to recruit England international - Eric Dier.

“Everyone thinks Manchester City is a typical example of a team that knows how to invest. But I think there is another team that is considered a phenomenon, a model for reasonable spending, and that is Tottenham.

I think they haven't spent a penny yet, right? They are determined to keep Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld and keep Eric Dier. For me their strategy is fantastic" - Mourinho concluded.
