"Manchester United" manager Jose Mourinho is welcoming the new season with great fear - the backbone of the team is still on vacation, and the coach has to work with players who have much smaller roles.
This night the "Red Devils" will have another friendly match - they will meet with Madrid's "Real". In the last match, J. Mourinho suffered a defeat against "Liverpool" with a score of 1-4.
"Man Utd" will start the season in England on August 10th - players like Romelu Lukaku, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford, and Paul Pogba are not expected to be ready according to the plan.
"It's a very strange season preparation, but it's not the club's fault," - said the Portuguese on the "BeIN" show. - Organizationally, everything is almost done perfectly. The problem is that most players are still resting after the World Cup, but it's necessary for them."
"It's a problem, because when we return to Europe, we will only have those players we are working with here. We will start the season in England with a huge risk.
The season start will be without players who played in the final stages of the World Cup. This means they won't have time to integrate into the training. Things like this frighten me when the season is already at hand," - added J. Mourinho.
