Manchester United could have a star-studded squad under Jose Mourinho.
New Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is allegedly interested in securing Lionel Messi’s signature. The Daily Mail reports that the Portuguese manager is banking on Messi’s tax problems in Spain to offer the 28-year-old a safe haven at Old Trafford.
However, this news should not make Man United fans pop the champagne just yet; Mourinho will only make a move for the Argentine if Man Utd qualifies for the 2017/18 Champions League.
The online publication revealed that the Red Devils made two approaches for the celebrate star over the last three weeks in an attempt to ‘test the waters’ ahead of a possible move. The report also claimed that sources close to Messi believe that the player is becoming ‘frustrated and hurt’ over the recent tax problems.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s deal almost done, the Premier League giants could make a shocking world record bid for Leo, who has scored 453 goals in 531 games for the Catalan outfit. 
Man United have previously tried to make a number of big signings, but the presence of the former boss Louis Van Gaal and lack of Champions League football seemed to have turned off some of their top transfer targets. They included the likes of Real Madrid’s hitman Gareth Bale, Barcelona’s Neymar, Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller and their old boy Cristiano Ronaldo.
