Mourinho tells Man Utd he wants readymade signings

Manchester United are targeting senior signings for 2017.

The Sunday Mirror says Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United's chiefs his priority in the next two transfer windows is finding ready-made stars – not young ­potential.

Old Trafford boss Mourinho believes he has enough youth in his squad as it stands – with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Memphis Depay and Tim Fosu-Mensah all under 24.

United are looking to recruit new defenders at centre-back and full-back next year, and Mourinho would prefer them to target experienced players with the know-how of winning titles.
