Manchester United is set to launch a £47.6m bid to land AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas. Mourinho wants to strengthen his defence in the January transfer window.
With the Victor Lindelof deal on the verge of closure, Mourinho now turned his attention to Manolas. The Portuguese has reportedly asked the club to seal the deal for the Greek defender as soon as possible.
Victor Lindelof who was supposed to be united’s first January arrival saw his move held up by his former club Vasteras over his fee.
With Eric Bailly participating in AFCON and Marcos Rojo got injured in the last match, Mourinho is now desperately in the need of a defender.
Manolas moved to the Serie A club in 2014 and has been one of the most sought after defenders in Europe last now.
It would be tough for United as tempting Roma might be very tough for them as the Giallorossi’s are right now second in the Serie A table and have a realistic chance to win the Serie A this season.
