Premier League
– Manchester United are waiting for Mourinho’s green light to launch a bid for AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas. The Red Devils are looking to improve their backline with Daley Blind not known to be a natural centre back. Manolas has impressed this season with Roma and was close to signing for Arsenal a few years back but chose the Italians instead.
– United are also targeting Inter striker Mauro Icardi. The forward has been in excellent form this season and United are in need of firepower up front. Mourinho is reportedly looking to use Zlatan Ibrahimovic as bait to lure the player to Old Trafford. Javier Zanetti earlier stated that the player won’t be leaving this summer but journalist Tancredi Palmeri has said United have made contact reports Sportsmole.
– According to the Mirror, Manchester United and Chelsea will do battle to sign Everton’s Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian has confirmed he wants to leave the club and has been linked heavily with a return to his former team but Jose Mourinho won’t give up without a fight.
