My summer transfer shopping list is ready – Mourinho

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has revealed that he has already drawn up a list of summer transfer targets, after the club decided not to bring in new faces in the January window.

Mourinho is well known for his preference for buying after the season ends and says he already knows who he wants, as speculation linking United with Atletico Madrid forward, Antoine Griezmann, increases.

He said: “I know what I want. I always think every week the more I know my players, the more I know my team, the more I know the competition – it’s a competition I know really well, but it’s in permanent evolution – I know what I want.

“The market closes today so there is no point in me speaking about the next transfer window when we have so many matches to play, so much to fight for, so many good players to work with.

“In our case, we are more focused on the summer period. I like my players, so nothing for me.

“But if you ask me if I know what I want for the next transfer window, yes I know. Is it possible to get? I’ll try, always, to be realistic.

“I remember years ago when I was asking for a second goalkeeper, my technical director gave me a list of possible second goalkeepers and the first name was Gianluigi Buffon.

“I’m always realistic, always try to give options that are gettable. But we’ll have time to speak about that in the summer.”
