Saka looked like he was going to go, ‘We’re not going anywhere, you stay close to me, this shirt is mine and you’re not going anywhere. everywhere’,” Jose Mourinho told talkSPORT quoted Football Italia.
“He knows what he’s doing. This is a picture of a top defender and a smart guy. I played Juventus with Manchester United a few seasons ago and after the game at Old Trafford, I said something like: these two guys (Chiellini-Bonucci) should go to Sport University and teach me how to be a centre-back.”
