According to reports, Jose Mourinho will make use of the ongoing international break to scout his own transfer targets.
The Portuguese boss has spent close to £300million since arriving Manchester United last summer including setting a world-record to persuade Juventus to allow Frenchman Paul Pogba come over to Old Trafford.
This summer, he also landed the trio of Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic, but missed out on Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic.
His side kicked-off this season impressively, but the lack of creativity absence in the squad in recent weeks has found them trailing behind rivals Manchester City by eight points.
The dilemma started from when Paul Pogba picked up a hamstring injury during Man Utd’s Champions League group stage game against Basel in September, and the Frenchman’s absence has clearly impacted the club’s attacking play.
And Jose is keen on utilising the January transfer window to add a playmaker to his squad.
According to Sky Sports, the former Porto manager will attend various international games this weekend to watch over his targets before making a decision next year.
Few days back, there were widespread reports that the board at Old Trafford has decided not to buy new players if none was first sold.
Therefore, the likes of Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini are expected to leave the club next year to enable Mourinho to raise funds to get his signings done.
