According to various reports from media and most recently from the Daily Star, Jose Mourinho has asked the club to do everything in their power to sign Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid.

Despite the general belief that Jose Mourinho does not allow the youth players to grow within the club the Portuguese is trying his trade with a different approach this time. According to the report the reason Mourinho wants to sign Niguez is because he sees the Spaniard as the fourth X-factor in the United squad. Mourinho is reportedly planning to polish Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard next season. Along with these three players he wants Niguez to take control of the midfield. At just 21 years old the Atletico Madrid star will be an ideal addition to United’s young formation.

The player will not be expensive at £54m valuation, but considering that he can play at several different positions it is not too bad value for money.
