Manchester United to back Jose Mourinho with £200m?

A report claims that Manchester United's transfer plans are being finalised by vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who has informed Jose Mourinho that he has £200m to spend.

Vice-chairman Ed Woodward is reportedly working closely with boss Jose Mourinho to ensure that Manchester United land as many of their transfer targets as possible.

Red Devils chiefs are said to be prepared to splash out a further £200m on new talent in the summer in an attempt to close the gap on champions-elect Manchester City.

According to The Sun, Mourinho has a number of high-profile targets on his wishlist, including Jorginho, Alex Sandro, Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin.

Woodward intends to work around the clock to keep the Portuguese happy, and the two men are also working in tandem when it comes to deciding which players will make way.

The same report indicates that Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian will all be allowed to leave, while Chris Smalling and Phil Jones could be offloaded if a couple of replacements are signed.
