Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that Manchester United will need to spend more money.
United could fall 15 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City if their rivals win at Newcastle on Wednesday following a 2-2 draw with Burnley at Old Trafford.

Responding to a question that such a gap might be unacceptable for a club of United's stature and When it was pointed out United have spent heavily - roughly £286m - since Mourinho took charge in 2016.

He said "OK but it is not enough. The price for the big clubs is different than for the other clubs. One thing is a big club and another thing is a big football team. They are two different things. We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a football team that is not one of the best teams in the world. Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers. When you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking about the history of the club."
