LONDON: It looks like Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is all set to add variety of options to its squad ahead of Super Cup encounter against either Real Madrid or Juventus.
In the wake of Wednesday night's Europa League victory in Stockholm, Mourinho departed for holiday with a clear message that it was now the turn of his football club to bring him the new players he wants.
There are likely to be four. Lancashire club demanding £30million for United old boy Michael Keane, while Mourinho also wants the Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann. So the numbers this summer will be high.
While the other two includes, Romelu Lukaku, Everton striker and striker from Torino, Andrea Belotti.
Sources at United boardroom level expect this to be a transfer window of exorbitant spending across Europe, with clubs fuelled by TV revenues and the market driven upwards by the excesses of an elite few.
United will get more out of Paul Pogba after a rare summer of rest and the same can probably be said of Mkhitaryan and maybe Herrera.
But United will in all likelihood lose Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, Michael Carrick will be a year older while Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard need to take larger steps forward before next season starts than they have previously.
Do not be surprised if Marcus Rashford ponders a request to go out on loan. Meanwhile, the chances are quite slim of the 19-year-old England striker playing in his favoured position once somebody such as Griezmann arrives.
