Any deal for Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld was a way off on the eve of the deadline and interest in Barcelona defender Yerry Mina has been tempered up until now by prohibitive financial demands.
Mourinho recently vented his frustration about his club's lack of summer spending, with Fred the only big-money arrival.
"Yeah I agree. We change teams from match to match, players are arriving step by step, some of the players have not had one single match".
The window for signing new players slammed shut on Thursday at 5pm with Jose Mourinho failing to bring in any additional players.
Which players are Manchester United most likely to sell and sign this summer, according to 888sport?
Mourinho was speaking at a 9am press conference and his words did not equivocally rule out the possibility of something happening. The Daily Star have reported that the former Republic of Ireland global will instead sign a new deal at Aston Villa.
"I'm a United fan, and I want to see them win the title, but I fear it's going to be very hard for that to happen this season".
The move was created to ease disruption in the first few weeks of the campaign after a number of high-profile players including Alexis Sanchez, Philippe Coutinho and Virgil van Dijk missed matches at the start of last season due to transfer speculation.
The striker turned broadcast pundit believes Liverpool's mental edge over City following three victories against them last season - twice in the Champions League and once in the league - could be the difference if City do not runaway with the title in the manner they did last season. "They trained Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and today, so you can imagine they are not really fit and ready".
Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Phil Jones all came back early from their own extended breaks but Mourinho sounded downbeat again when he was asked about the new season. Put it this way: I hope so, because if he is still there, it means they have been successful and won something. If I felt we could not improve the team I would call my chairman and say: "I leave". Anderson joined the side for £35m and his versatility and pace will be a crucial addition to West Ham's attacking options, whilst he has already found his feet on English turf scoring in the Hammers' 2-1 win against Ipswich Town in pre-season. I repeat: "pre-season hard when you don't have your players to work, as simple as that".
