Mourinho is hoping to make a splash in the January transfer window.
During his tenure so far, Mourinho has spent around £300million on new recruits.
But the huge outlay hasn’t paid dividends, and United find themselves 15 points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Mourinho is desperate to close the gap on and off the pitch to City, and according to the Sun on Sunday, the Portuguese tactician wants to know what the club’s transfer policy is before signing a contract extension.

The Sun claim Mourinho is far from happy that he won’t get his hands on the full £80m transfer kitty available.

The report also suggests that United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has urged the club not to spend too heavily this money.
