Jose Mourinho confirms summer transfer plans, Man United fans will be happy

Jose Mourinho has cryptically promised that he will make some “interesting” signings for Manchester United during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils are bound to be linked with a host of players in the coming weeks and months as the summer window draws ever nearer.

Mourinho is likely to want to bolster his Manchester United squad as he prepares for his second season in charge at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have been linked with a host of big names in recent months, including the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Neymar.

And the Red Devils boss has confirmed that he is out to strengthen his squad in the summer as he bids to bring the Premier League title back to Old Trafford.

“I’m sure, at the end of the summer, probably we won’t have exactly my first options, because it’s difficult to succeed in every attempt, but I’m sure we’re going to do something interesting and something to improve our team for next season,” said Mourinho, speaking at a news conference at Carrington on Friday.

“I’m not a silly manager to say I give the names and you have to give me the players – not at all.

“I give the names, I give the options, I give the second options in case the first options are not possible, but I give all the information based on my analysis, my experience and projections for the future.”
