Man Utd transfer news: Chelsea and Real Madrid talks underway as Mourinho hunts two deals
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly in talks with Chelsea and Real Madrid over transfers after Jose Mourinho admitted he wanted two more signings.
Mourinho: We haven't got enough new players for new season
Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid are all pressing ahead with their transfer plans as they eye title glory next season.
There is, however, a doom and gloom mood around Old Trafford at present with Mourinho cutting an increasingly frustrated figure.
The 55-year-old has already expressed a concern over deals, despite landing Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant so far.
He said today: “I would get two more players. One thing is what I would like, another thing is what is going to happen.”
And the Manchester Evening News say Manchester United are in talks with both Real Madrid and Chelsea over Gareth Bale and Willian.
Bale was earmarked as a priority signing at the start of the summer after hinting at a Bernabeu exit in May.
There is, though, a feeling he will stay at Real Madrid in the wake of Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.
Ronaldo quit Real Madrid for Juventus earlier this month and Los Blancos now want Bale to stay.
The MEN say United are also in talks over Chelsea’s Willian.
Willian is the subject of interest from Barcelona with the Catalan giants having three bids snubbed so far.

The latest of those was £65million but, with Chelsea holding firm, they appear set to look elsewhere.
Barcelona have instead turned their attentions to Malcom, who is set to join from Ligue 1 giants Bordeaux.
And that could benefit United in their bid to sign Willian.
Mourinho knows all about the Brazil international, having managed him during his own time at Stamford Bridge.
But whether he can convince Chelsea to sell up, after prising Nemanja Matic away from the Blues last summer, remains to be seen.
