Jose Mourinho has revealed he is not expecting any helicopters bringing new signings to Manchester United on Deadline Day.

Mourinho has had a busy summer since arriving at Old Trafford in May, acquiring the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba in a major spending spree.

However, he says he will not be making any further signings before the transfer window closes on Wednesday evening as he is happy with his 23-man first-team squad and will supplement it with youngsters if required.

"I have 23 players in the squad and, in principle, there is nobody leaving and nobody is coming," said Mourinho at his press conference on Friday ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at Hull City.

"It's more than enough and if you have a problem or an opportunity then I have a few young players in the Academy that I will be more than happy to give them an acceleration in their process.
