Real Madrid manager suggests Vinicius should have joined Arsenal

Vinicius Junior was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal over the summer, but he opted to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid instead.

The new season hasn’t got off to the best start for the winger, and now Real boss Jose Mourinho has suggested he would have left Madrid if he were in Vinicius’ shoes.

“I would have forced the club to let me leave for a country where they respect me, but he has stayed because of his sense of belonging to Real Madrid and his love for the club.”
