CAIRO –26 August 2017: Jose Mourinho, Manchester United’s manager, spoke on August 25 ahead of Manchester United’s third game in the English Premier League.

Speaking in the pre-match press conference, Mourinho talked about the quality of Manchester United winger Anthony Martial, the understanding between Mourinho and United attacking player Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and about when United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will come back from his injury.

Talking about Martial, Mourinho said, "When you have some talent you cannot waste; when you are blessed with talent, you have to fulfill and explore it. You cannot be happy with just glimpses. That I am not going to change,” the BBC reported.

Speaking about Mkhitaryan, Mourinho stated, "He understands me and I understand him. With his talent, this season [will be] even better,” citing from the BBC.
Regarding Ibrahimovic, Mourinho concluded, “He won’t be ready for the group phase of the Champions League. No chance of that. I just think he will be an extra man for us in the second part of the season. The second part is normally January, after Christmas, when the transfer window reopens,” reporting from the Guardian.

Manchester United will play against Leicester City on August 26 in the third fixture of the English Premier League. Manchester United will be looking for their third consecutive win, while Leicester City will be looking to win for the second time this season after losing the opening match on August 11 against Arsenal with a 4-3 score.
