Manchester United boss Jose Mouriho is counting on Jorge Mendes to land Valencia fullback Joao Cancelo.
Don Balon says Mourinho called Mendes, who represents both Cancelo and the United manager, about signing the Los Che fullback after being told to forget about Seamus Coleman by Everton.
Mourinho has made it clear to Mendes that he wants to bring Cancelo in January.
Barcelona are also interested in the youngster and aim to go around Mendes to land him.
Barca have confidence in their relationship with Valencia to win Cancelo's signature.
