Manchester United Transfer News: Jose Mourinho Watched Emil Forsberg vs. Italy

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho attended Sweden's 1-0 FIFA World Cup play-off win over Italy on Friday, and according to the latest reports, he was there to watch RB Leipzig winger Emil Forsberg in person.

Per Simon Jones of the Mail on Sunday, the 26-year-old didn't disappoint, as he picked up the man-of-the-match award in a great performance. The win gave the Swedes a great chance at qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, with the return leg taking place at the iconic San Siro stadium in Milan.

Forsberg joined Leizpig from Malmo in 2015, when the team was still active in Germany's lower divisions.
