Mourinho is looking for lefties

Mourinho set to reinforce his squad, targeting four lefties.

Alarmed at the balance of his squad, Mourinho is targeting four lefties in order to bring them to Old Trafford: Tottenham Hotspur’s Danny Rose, Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, Atlético Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann, and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil, although it is very likely that United will nab Ozil before the german’s contract runs out next summer. However, this a two-horse race for the Arsenal’s midfielder, with Barcelona also wanting the german player. The La Liga leaders looking to strengthen their squad in January and reckon that Ozil would fit the bill.

Unfortunately, Lionel Messi is now dictating transfer policy at the Camp Nou, and he doesn’t seem to rate Ozil. The argentine star has also told Barcelona not to sign Griezmann because of fears that the frenchman might reduce Luis Suárez’s playing time, and instead wants them to reignite negotiations with Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho.

According to Spanish media, Harry Kane has also spoke that he fancies a move to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Tottenham plans to replace Rose with Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon. The Spurs could also make Gareth Bale their new left-back, if he manage to avoid being injured all the time.
