Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has spoken to senior players about his plans for next season.

The Mirror says Mourinho wants to build a team with the same attacking philosophy legendary predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson demanded in his time at Old Trafford, and is determined to embrace that style.

The Special One has spoken to senior United players such as Wayne Rooney, David De Gea and Michael Carrick and outlined his plans for the coming season.

And Mourinho made it clear there's going to be a departure from the slow, pedestrian build-up play that blighted their previous manager Louis van Gaal's time in charge.

The 53-year-old has also outlined in meetings and those phone calls with players a determination to embrace the United philosophy of bringing youngsters up through the ranks.
