Manchester United registered their fifth consecutive league win yesterday by beating Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are still 13 points behind league leaders Chelsea who won their 13th PL game on the trot yesterday and are showing no signs of slowing down.
Therefore, Jose must target CL qualification for next season and needs to reinforce his squad in the winter transfer window.
The former Chelsea boss has been heavily linked with Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann. However, according to reports going on in the media, the Portuguese boss is also interested in signing another Atletico attacker in the form of Yannick Carrasco.
According to reports (Daily Star via OK Diario), Mourinho wants to sign the 23-year-old Belgian international who has been in fantastic form for the Spanish side this season.
This season, in 24 appearances for the La Liga club, Carrasco has netted 10 goals and also provided 3 assists. Back in October, Yannick scored a brilliant hat-trick against Granada and was heavily praised by manager Diego Simeone (Goal):
“I’m very happy for Carrasco. He is a very complete player, with a bright future ahead of him,”
The former Monaco star can play anywhere in the attacking third and will largely improve the quality of Man United’s attack.
However, as per the provided Star link, Carrasco recently signed a new contract with a release clause of £85million and will be almost impossible to lure in the winter window.
