Man Utd transfer news: Jose Mourinho is eyeing a move for Kalidou Koulibaly (Image: GETTY)
Manchester United manager Mourinho has used Bailly and Rojo sparingly amid the club’s nightmare start to the new season.
The Red Devils have endured a horrific campaign so far and enter Sunday’s clash with Liverpool a huge 16 points behind Jurgen Klopp’s side in the league table.
In order to arrest his side’s slump, Jose Mourinho wants Manchester United directors to give him funds when the transfer window reopens next month.
On his radar, as his priority, is the arrival of a new centre-back - particularly given the club's failure to invest in that area back in the summer.

Man Utd: 'Progress' has been made to sign Koulibaly says pundit
Mourinho has started the player just twice since hooking him after just 19 minutes in the club’s 3-2 win over Newcastle in October.
And his dire display against Valencia on Wednesday has done little to help the Ivorian’s cause.
The London Evening Standard’s report suggests both men could be shown the door in January.
But only time will tell if Mourinho is able to make Koulibaly their marquee replacement.
