Jose Mourinho cites Scott McTominay and Raphael Varane as proof of his ‘history’ with young stars as Benfica boss targets January signings to boost Liga Portugal title hopes

Benfica head coach Jose Mourinho cited the likes of Scott McTominay and Raphael Varane as proof of his “history” of working with young players and developing them into great sportsmen. The Special One, in a press conference on Friday, claimed that Benfica “will surely add one or two players who can help strengthen the squad”, before adding that “if there’s someone who likes to promote young players, I’m one of them.”
