Jose Mourinho has continued to be linked with more attacking midfielders as the opening of the January transfer window nears.

The Red Devils manager watched his side secure a narrow victory over Bournemouth on Wednesday to keep up with Manchester City who thrashed Swansea City 4-0 to maintain their eleven-point advantage at the top of the league.

Mourinho is believed to be keen on bolstering his squad with more attacking-minded new additions in January after having a relatively busy summer transfer window.

Thus, reports are claiming that the United boss is ready to agree a deal for the signing of Julian Weigl.

United have been linked with a host of midfielders and the 22-year-old now appears to be Mourinho’s latest target.

Weigl has been in eye-catching form for Dortmund for over a year now, attracting the interest of several big clubs.

Signing the Germany international could put the future of Henrikh Mkytaran into serious doubt.
