J. Mourinho: There will be no new center-back this winter

The head coach of "Manchester United" Jose Mourinho attended a press conference before the FA Cup match against "Reading" and mentioned the winter transfer window.

The "Red Devils" have been linked with Benfica defender Victor Lindelof for the past month. The media has already reported that Swede played his farewell match with Benfica at the end of December and is ready to move to Manchester.

It seems that plans are changing - J. Mourinho states that there will be no new center-back this winter. He will wait for Eric Bailly to return from the African Cup of Nations and will continue with the other three center-backs.

"No, I will wait for Bailly's return," - said J. Mourinho about a possible new defender. - "I hope that the current three center-backs will manage the situation in the eight matches without Bailly."

"One of the three defenders will rest each match. One will rest this Saturday, against 'Hull City' - another one. This will be the rotation until Eric Bailly returns.

If we need more center-backs, we can even use Daley Blind in that position. Michael Carrick can also play in this position," - the strategist spoke about the wide selection.
