Pochettino rapped Mourinho in his new book for approaching Eric Dier amid talk of United being keen to sign him.

Mourinho said: “I don't know if it is Mauricio's words or it is his ghost writer's, I really don't know.

“What I do know, is that every season, during the summer, before every season he calls me and I call Mauricio and we ask about each other's players to see if they are or not available.

“I don't know why I should speak to Dier on a football match day in the tunnel, maybe it is to try and sell books. Maybe his ghost writer wants to make some money.

“I have the player that I want to have. Probably I have the player I didn't think it was possible to have but we got the player I really wanted."

The United boss refused to comment on whether he had made a strong bid for Dier when he first arrived at United in the summer of 2016.

He said: “I never said that I want Dier. I never say who the players are I want."
