Mourinho ready for another showdown with Ed Woodward after latest step

Emerging reports indicate that Manchester United boss is ready for another showdown with the club’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward after submitting his January transfer list.

It would be recalled that the Portuguese manager had a faceoff with the club’s chief for failing to sign his wish of a centre back in the summer with the likes of Toby Alderweireld, Harry Maguire and Jerome Boateng slipping out of his hand.

These created a rift between the both officials of the club with the former Chelsea boss blaming Woodward for making his side struggle and have a slow start this season.

However latest report reveals that Mourinho has submitted a new list for the signing of Inter Milan’ Skriniar, AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli or Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.

According to reports, Mourinho asked Woodward to make use of the funds that would have been used for the summer transfer to strike the deal.

Also, Mourinho reported to be in search of a striker with Romelu Lukaku failing to meet up with expectations.

Howbeit, the Old Trafford side were able to win their last game against Everton to make a statement of their return to full form after struggling to win games in recent time.
