Reportedly, Jose Mourinho, Manchester United coach assured the club to not get the big-name players this summer, with Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale as a possible target and also PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. We have the information coming from Miguel Delaney of The Independent that Mourinho has a clear idea how to work with his team and strategies and the way he wants to structure his squad. He wants to put in the work the already experienced center-backs and hard-working wingers. And that explains precisely why he is so eager to get Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham Hotspur.
The move that would salvage the club’s transfer window this summer is the one that Mourinho is already setting as a primary objective – landing an experienced defender.
But there is another defender that has been a target too beside Alderweireld that has been linked to the club. The other target is the World Cup standout playing for Leicester – Harry Maguire.
The Red Devils are opting not to bring in too many impact players and are remarkably quiet about everything they do when compared to their main Premier League rivals. The signing of Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk has been their biggest deal so far. Even though he’s highly touted player, he is not the headline-grabbing signing, simply not that type.
Mentioned as possible suitors for most top players every summer, it doesn’t help much that Manchester United has been leading the fans to disappointment. And that’s something that has been around frequently.
Before Mourinho expands the play of the club on the level of football the club plays moving forward, he wants to primarily bring his defense to the level he desires. The Red Devils have time to decide until August 9 about their transfer business, because that’s the day when the Premier League’s transfer window will close early this summer.
