Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has not ruled out a late market move for Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng.

The Germany international has emerged as a surprise target for Mourinho, who is desperate to find a centre-half signing this week.

Mourinho, after their friendly defeat to Bayern on Sunday, was asked about his interest in Boateng.

The Portuguese replied: "Boateng? My general manager knows what I want, I think he is doing his best for me.

"I still have a few days to wait."
