Manchester United boss José Mourinho admits he is keen to work with more Brazilian players at Old Trafford.
Mourinho brought Willian to England during his second stint as Blues boss, but says he doubts the Stamford Bridge club will sell him to United.
Interestingly, there is only one Brazilian in the current United squad, Andreas Pereira who is currently on loan at Spanish side Valencia.
In an interview with ESPN, Mourinho said: “I think that a team without a Brazilian isn’t a team. But also, a squad with three or four Brazilian athletes, depending on their profile, cannot make a great team too. I’m kidding!
“I think their talent is fantastic and the creativity of the Brazilian player cannot be measured. If a European team, like, very European, could have a Brazilian in their squad, it would bring a ‘Brazilian thing’ to the game and I think that’s very important.
“I worked with Brazilian players in every team I coached, and I enjoyed [them] a lot, everything they can give and also every problem they can create! But honestly, I enjoyed a lot, and who knows we can have a Brazilian in the squad next year.”
