Manchester United have been pretty much inactive in the winter transfer window and Mourinho must strengthen his team to improve the performances in the second half of the campaign.
As far as the latest transfer news is concerned, United are once again linked with Spanish international and Real Madrid sensation Marco Asensio.
According to Don Balon, top European clubs are interested in signing Asensio and one of them have put a huge deal on the table which is being valued by the player very seriously. That club is Manchester United.

The Spanish source claim that Asensio is Mourinho’s new favorite to bring glory days back at Old Trafford. Surprisingly, it is stated that neither Perez nor Zidane are very much in favor of the work done by the 21-year-old attacker but Mourinho believes that he will be a great asset for the Red Devils.
Asensio was brilliant in the last campaign and he started this season in top form as well. However, Zidane has mainly used him from the bench. He has only started 1 CL game and 9 league games in the current campaign.
Overall, in 26 appearances (all competitions), Marco has netted 7 goals and provided 3 assists. Last year, he signed a new deal (expires in 2023) with the Los Blancos which has a mammoth release clause (Independent) of 500 million euros (£443million).

This guy has got world class talent, Real Madrid are wasting him, can win the Ballondor in future and if Neymar is worth 222million and Coutinho 160million then Asensio will be sold for more
Do you believe he is worth nearly half a BILLION pounds? Chairmen are ruining football with their, “I can afford to spend more than you.” Attitude. It is becoming a game within a game to see who has bragging rights for spending the most and write it off as a tax relief. Have you noticed no one in this category of affluence are considering buying Accrington Stanley?
I really want Jose to buy players to strengthen our squad for the rest of this season. We need two or three superstars in this January.
Marco asensio is a nice player but I think he will like to play in club like Manchester united.
