The England international has been linked with several clubs this summer with Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Chelsea in the race.

Mourinho, however, remained very secretive about his thoughts on the matter:

“It’s a tricky question because I cannot speak about players from other teams,” Mourinho said during his team tour of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

“But you know me, it’s not my kind of character to speak with a bit of hypocrisy and I always say what I think.

“He is a player I like very much but I can say no more than that. Being fast and direct, I like that, but he’s a Manchester United player.”
