The Portuguese is known to have exceptionally high demands and can be difficult for some players to work with.
Mourinho has also earned a reputation for failing to give young players much time in his teams over more established big-name signings, so it’s good to see these two have sufficiently impressed him that they could perhaps be key members of his squad this season.
