That’s according to Le 10 Sport (h/t Uche Amako of the Daily Express), who have suggested Mourinho wants to add more attacking strength to his Red Devils squad and will turn to Payet as an alternative to Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann, who won't be available mid-season.
Neil Fissler of the the Sunday Express recently stated that French champions Paris Saint-Germain had opened talks with the Hammers in an attempt to bring the 29-year-old back to Ligue 1 in a £30 million transfer.
It’ll be fascinating to see what does happen with Payet in the January window.
