Mourinho eyes Mkhitaryan replacement

08:50: Inter Milan ace Joao Mario is reportedly being lined up in case Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaves Manchester United.

The Portugal international joined the Serie A giants off the back of a strong showing at Euro 2016.

And The Sun claim Jose Mourinho likes the look of his countryman as he plans for Mkhitaryan's potential departure.

Mkhitaryan has been tipped to join Inter himself after failing to hit top form at Old Trafford.

And Mario could apparently head in the opposite direction if United agree to stump up £40m.

Griezmann wanted now

08:00: Jose Mourinho wants Manchester United to forget about a summer move for Antoine Griezmann and sign the Frenchman now.

Griezmann was expected to quit Atletico Madrid for Old Trafford last summer but stayed when their transfer ban was upheld.

Mourinho maintains an interest in getting him on-board and was expected to wait until the end of the season.

However, Express Sport understands Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's injury woes have changed his mind.

And the United gaffer wants to bring Griezmann in this month to get the Red Devils' campaign back on track.

Ronaldo in Man Utd return hint

07:10: Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped the biggest hint yet that he fancies a return to Manchester United.

The Portugal international quit the Premier League for La Liga in a then-world-record £80m move back in 2009.

But he's cut a frustrated figure at the Bernabeu over the past year and has been tipped to head back to United.

The Sunday Mirror now claim Ronaldo is looking at properties in England as he weighs up his future.

And Jose Mourinho would likely welcome his countryman back to United with open arms in the summer.
