Jose Mourinho hails Jorge Mendes impact at Wolverhampton Wanderers

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho credits agent Jorge Mendes for helping Wolverhampton Wanderers back into the Premier League.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has credited agent Jorge Mendes with helping Wolverhampton Wanderers back into the Premier League.

Mendes has been instrumental in brokering deals for a number of Portuguese players to move to Molineux, including the likes of Rui Patricio, Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves.

Mourinho is a client of Mendes himself, and the United boss believes that the agent has helped to build a "really really good team" at Molineux.

"I don't speak with him for quite a long time to be honest, but when we speak we don't speak about my job or his job," Mourinho told reporters.

"He's my agent and that's it, but I think the work in Wolves is good because it is not just about the Portuguese influence - Portuguese manager, staff and players - it is also about getting the right ones.

"I think they got good young players and got also good experienced, stable players. So they got this season, the Portugal national team goalkeeper, Moutinho, who is one of the players of the 100 caps club.

"Big stability in the team, the young ones are young boys with good potential and you can see the work of the coaching staff and the team is a really really good team."

Wolves face United at Old Trafford this afternoon sitting just one point behind them in the Premier League table.
