While other managers usually just give neutral answers to such questions, Jose Mourinho found a response of his own.
The former Manchester United manager started interviewing himself. He asked himself the kind of questions which were expected to be asked by the Journalists present.
He asked himself the first question, “Are you expecting any player until the end of the market”. And Jose Mourinho gave a reply himself, “No”.
The former Real Madrid manager asked himself two more questions. First, if he was happy with his club’s business in the transfer window and second, if he wanted to sign a striker.
Though to everyone’s surprise, the first question asked to him in the press conference was about the transfer window and if he’s expecting any transfer on the deadline day. This left everyone in laughter, including the three-time Premier League winner.

However, he didn’t shy away from expressing his disappointment over not securing a deal for a striker. The Portuguese said, “I cannot hide. If I say it’s easy to play three competitions without a striker, I’m going to lie. I cannot lie. But if it’s not possible, it’s not possible.
