The Portuguese coach believes Manchester United require two new wingers, one centre-back and one attacking midfielder.
Wants reunion with Arsenal star
It is understood that Mourinho’s prime target is Arsenal star Mesut Ozil, whose contract is set to expire in June 2018.
Ozil had the experience of playing under the coaching of Mourinho when the duo was at the Santiago Bernabéu for three years.
Now, Mourinho wants a reunion at the Old Trafford but he will face tough competition from La Liga side Atletico Madrid, who are also interested in Ozil.
Currently, Paul Pogba is Mourinho’s midfielder mainstay but he is not impressed with the France international, thus he wants to buy a new attacking midfielder.
At the same time, he doesn’t have good players for wing play, as a result, Mourinho’s wish for the three-prong attack is yet to be fulfilled.
Currently, Manchester United are at the second position of the EPL points table with 26 points in 12 matches. The Old Trafford side is trailing by eight points of Manchester City, who are currently leading the points table.
Mourinho’s side tested a 4-0 victory against Newcastle in the EPL in their last game. But suffered a blow against FC Basel as the visitors lost by 1-0 margin their Champions League match.
However, the Manchester side are at the top of the Group A with 12 points in five matches while FC Basel are trailing by three points after playing as many as matches.
