7月26日訊 穆帥在曼聯VS AC米蘭賽後就馬夏爾離隊返回巴黎陪伴待產女友的事情，做出回應，表示自己提前兩三天就已經知道馬夏爾回巴黎，並認為這樣的私人理由，任何人都沒有權利阻止。

「馬夏爾在回巴黎兩三天之前就告訴我了，我了解到這個事情。當涉及到私人原因時，每個人都以為他們分析的角度是對的，但是這件事情是馬夏爾是要做爸爸了，這是他第二次當爸爸，對他來說回去陪伴很重要，任何人都沒有權利阻止他以這樣的理由離開。」

《曼晚》《電訊報》都有穆帥採訪原文。

「I found out that Martial was going to Paris when he told me, which was two or three days ago,」 Mourinho explained.

「When it is for personal reasons, everyone analyses that the way he thinks is the correct way. When a man is going to be a father, in this case, it's the second time he is going to be a father and he decides it is very important for him to go, nobody has the right to stop him.」
