Mourinho believes that Manchester United for the transfers Lukaku and Matic would have to give a lot more if they were realized after the transfer of Neimar from Barcelona to the PCG.

"I think that MJ conducted a very competent transfer policy. We believed that in the near future a transfer could take place, which will forever change the market. So it happened - after the transfer of Neimar everything changed for the worse, if we talk about the cost, "said Mourinho.

"I think that on the last day of the transfer window Lukaku already would have cost 150 million pounds, and Matic - 60 or 70. These players would cost us about 200 million pounds in total, but we bought them earlier and spent much less ".

For Matica mankuniantsy paid Chelsea 40 million pounds, and Lukak Everton - 77.

"Neimar changed the market. Now the cost of players has automatically increased by somewhere to 20 million, "added Mourinho.
