Since joining Manchester United in the summer, Jose Mourinho has already spent a huge amount of cash to reinforce the squad.
However, up til now, the Red Devils have not been able to perform as per the very high expectations of the supporters. They currently sit 5 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
The Old Trafford club have to improve big time and already they are linked with more players.
According to reports (Mirror), Mourinho is looking to sign a new full back with lots of Premier League experience and Irish international Seamus Coleman is in the limelight.
As per the provided Mirror link, the former Chelsea manager has asked Man United chariman to look to sign the Everton star in a deal worth 16 million pounds ($20million) in the winter transfer window.
The 27-year-old right back is one of the best fullbacks in the PL. Back in 2013-14, he made it into the PFA Team of the Year as well. Solid at the back and productive in the attack, United must secure his signing in January.

Everton are not going to sell Seamus Coleman in the middle of the season. If they did, it wouldn’t be for £20 million. Everton have new investment and were not only able to keep Romelu Lukaku but brought in Yannick Bolassie, Ashley williams, Idrissa Gueye and Enner Valencia in the summer.
They did sell Jon Stones, for £50 million, but this is evidence that the Toffees won’t sell on the cheap. Coleman is also under contract until 2019, which means the club have the leverage to keep him unless they get massive money. You’d have to expect Coleman to bring in at least £30 million if not £35 million for Everton to consider selling him. They’d also need a replacement. If Coleman brought in £32 million, they could make a serious offer for Arsenal’s Mathieu Debuchy probably on loan for the remainder of the season with the possibility of a permanent deal if the move works out for both parties. Debuchy wouldn’t be a big step down from Coleman, but is currently stuck behind the precocious Hector Bellerin at right back for the gunners.
Everton could also work a swap of cash plus Matteo Darmian for Coleman with Man U; though player swaps are very, very rare in the Premier League.
