Mourinho tells Man Utd chief Woodward: Get Bale - but don't spend my budget!

Jose Mourinho doesn't want Manchester United to blow their entire budget on signing Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.

The Sun says United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is desperate to land the Real Madrid superstar as the club's marquee summer signing.

But boss Mourinho is demanding Woodward finds extra cash to fund the capture of the Welsh attacker, 28.

Mourinho does not want it taken out of the kitty for other players he is more interested in than Bale.

The United manager has plans to sign Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred and Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic this summer.
