Manchester United vice-chairman Ed Woodward admits he had disagreements with former manager Jose Mourinho over transfer targets.
Woodward has confirmed he did overrule Mourinho, now in charge of Tottenham, over "one or two" transfer targets after consultation with recruitment experts.
Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant were Mourinho's only acquisitions in 2018 as they missed out on future signing Harry Maguire and other big-name targets.
"It is true that there was a difference of opinion on one or two players between the manager and the recruitment department," Woodward told United We Stand.
"Sometimes I have to be one who delivers the 'no', which isn't easy, because our natural tendency is to back the manager in every possible circumstance, but we have to listen to the recruitment experts too."
