• First of all, the Portuguese is desperate to bring to Old Trafford a centre-back to create a reliable duo with Eric Bailly; Barcelona’s Umtiti and Tottenham’s Alderweireld are under consideration so far.

• The boss another top-priority objective is to sign a controlling midfielder.

• Connected with the previous point or not, Mourinho is believed to be eager on getting rid of Paul Pogba, with a swap for PSG’s Marco Veratti being among the possible variants, as both are Mino Raiola’s clients.

• Finally, David De Gea’s future at United seems to be even less secured, than it used to be. Real Madrid still are interested in the goalkeeper’s services and would reportedly consider a possibility of a deal, which could see Toni Kroos going the opposite way.
