Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho declined to answer when asked if he would be confident of challenging for the EPL title next season with no further additions to his squad. United have signed three players — midfielder Fred, full-back Diogo Dalot and goalkeeper Lee Grant.

United, who face AC Milan in the third match of their pre-season tour today, have a number of players on post-World Cup breaks. It was put to Mourinho that some of United's rivals had a similar situation to deal with, he replied: "If you look at the players Chelsea and Liverpool have in pre-season, and, also Arsenal, I think if you compare, you can see the difference in the situation.
