Manchester United manager, José Mourinho, revealed last week that the club would be looking to sign a maximum of three to four players next summer. While adding depth in the attacking midfield areas is his primary focus, he would be looking to bolster his central defence as well.
Mourinho may have as many as five top defenders – Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, and Daley Blind – in his squad, but he would still be looking to bring in quality defenders next summer. If the reports are to be believed, Mourinho is looking to sign Monaco’s highly rated defender, Fabinho, and has even spoken to the Brazilian about a possible transfer to Old Trafford.
