JOSE MOURINHO has blasted two of his biggest rivals before the new Premier League season has even started.

The Manchester United boss has told Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp to keep their noses out of his business.

Mourinho is fuming with the duo for commenting on United’s decision to sign Paul Pogba in a world record deal.

United will complete the £112m signing of Pogba from Juventus next week in a deal that will make the France midfielder the most expensive footballer in history.

Arsenal boss Wenger labelled the deal ‘crazy’ while Liverpool counterpart Klopp said he wanted no part of being involved in such an inflated transfer market.

But Mourinho has hit out at the pair for criticising the fee and branded them ‘unethical’ for questioning if such a colossal price is good for the game.

NOT INTERESTED: Mourinho doesn't care about his rivals

  

            

   

Mourinho said: “I don’t like to speak about other clubs or players from other clubs. Other managers like to do that, they like to speak about my club and my players.

“I am very pragmatic on this. All that matters is what happens in my house and not in my neighbour’s house.

“I only speak about us. I heard already two of my colleagues from other clubs speaking about us. I do not like that. It is not ethical.

“He (Klopp) was one of them, but I don’t comment. He made comments about us but I don’t comment about him - or about his club.

“There are things that when I do it, are not ethical - and when others do it everything is normal, nobody says that. I do not speak about the others. They can do what they want.

“Our market was good. We made decisions, decide to bring four players not 10, that are Manchester United level.”

Mourinho was expected to tone down his act as United boss following his infamous meltdown with Chelsea last season.

But he has wasted no time in lighting the blue touch paper ahead of what promises to be another explosive campaign.

United are putting the finishing touches to the Pogba deal and Mourinho has all-but confirmed the 23-year-old will join the club next week.

When asked if the signing was close Mourinho added: “Yes, we have 22 players and we are going to have 23.

“Paul Pogba is a Juventus player until he isn’t, officially, so we stay like this. The market closes on August 31 but I think my club is trying to do everything to close our market before August 14.

“Normally, next week, we will have our squad closed. We will get a very good midfielder.”
