Jose Mourinho preparing £19m bid to make winger first Man United signing
JOSE MOURINHO is reportedly ready to splash £19million on winger Andre Carrillo.
Andre Carrillo is apparently a target for Jose Mourinho at Man United
The 24-year-old is currently on the books at Sporting Lisbon but he hasn’t played since last September due a bitter contract feud.
The Peruvian’s current deal runs out this summer and he signed a pre-contract agreement to join Primeira Liga rivals Benfica at the end of his contract with Sporting.
However reports in Portugal claim Benfica are planning on immediately selling the 24-year-old.
And now Portuguese newspaper A Bola claim Jose Mourinho wants Carrillo to join him at Old Trafford.

The report adds Benfica will demand at least £19m for the winger, who hasn’t played since Peru’s 4-3 defeat to Chile back in October.
Express Sport understands Mourinho's appointment as Louis van Gaal’s successor at United will be confirmed within the next 36 hours.
