Manchester United are reportedly lining up a double swoop for Sporting Lisbon stars William Carvalho and Joao Mario.
Arsenal and Liverpool have both been tracking Carvalho in recent months.
But according to the Sun, United are keen to strike a deal.
The report suggests Jose Mourinho, who is expected to replace Louis van Gaal at the end of the season, would welcome a move for the duo.
It is also believed United sent scouts to watch the duo in action on Saturday.
Van Gaal admits Rooney was ‘angry’ after he was substituted against Aston Villa.

Rooney was apparently furious after he came off after 67 minutes of the 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Speaking about Rooney’s reaction, Van Gaal said: “He was angry on me because he wanted to play 90 minutes.
“But you could see he was losing balls – he hadn't played for a long time and three days training is not enough.”
