Shalke 04's director has aimed a dig at Jose Mourinho over the
pursuit of Swiss young striker, Embolo. He seems happy beating United's manager to the signing of the youngster.
“There are a number of reasons why we signed Embolo,” sporting director Christian Heidel said.“First and foremost there are sporting reasons. It’s nothing new that he is a great player. There is a reason why Mourinho desperately wanted to sign him for Manchester United. When we realised there was a possibility that we could miss out on signing him due to other clubs' interest, we had to move fast," he added.
"President Clemens Tonnies happily made his plane available. We flew out to Montpellier at 1300 CET and returned five hours later. We had wrapped up the deal in that short period."
However it's worth pointing out that Mourinho has had an interesting first transfer window. The likes of Ibrahimovic, Bially and Mkhitaryan have joined the club.
