Mouning . . . Mourinho risks war with United chiefs over public complaints about cluba��s transfer spending

MANCHESTER UNITED bosses are unhappy with Jose Mourinho criticising the club over their A?260 million lack of spending, according to reports.

The sulking Old Trafford boss is watching noisy neighbours Man City run away with the Premier League title in his favourite second season.

And he lashed out at the executives at the club who have stopped him spending even more cash on the players he has wanted over the last 18 months.

The Mail claims one senior United chief insists a Mourinho associate is leaking transfer stories in a bid to help the Portuguese get the big-money signings he wants.

United expect the controversial manager to use his linguistic skills to undermine match officials, opposition managers and even ex-United players.

However, repeated barbs against the people that pay his wages and sanction signings will end up in a confrontation the former Chelsea boss is certain to lose.

Chief executive Ed Woodward will let Mourinho make two massive summer signings a�� if he is still at the club a�� as he admits he inherited a weak side from Louis van Gaal.

United have been linked with Real Madrid maestro Toni Kroos and PSG flyer Lucas Moura but they look like summer sagas when the boss insists his side is struggling to survive the winter.

After the recent win over Everton, Mourinho said: a�?I dona��t know about transfers.

a�?In this moment we are in trouble, in two to three weeksa�� time maybe we recover and we breathe in a different way, can we improve now or do we wait until the summer? I cannot say.

a�?If somebody comes, welcome. If nobody comes, we are going to fight with the players we have.a�? .
