Jose Mourinho has revealed he has identified Manchester United’s summer transfer targets.

The current window has been quiet for the Red Devils with the only significant movements seeing players leave the club rather than arrive.

Manchester United fans can expect a busy summer though with Mournho keen to continue shaping his team in his image following his arrival last year.

‘In our case, we are more focused on the summer period,’ Mourinho said. ‘I like my players, so nothing for me. I know what I want.

‘I always think every week, the more I know my players, the more I know my team, the more I know the competition, because it’s a competition I know really well, but it’s a competition that is in permanent evolution.

‘I know what I want, yeah. I know what I want. But the market closes today, so there is no point, especially for me, to speak about the next transfer window when we have so many matches to play, so many competitions to fight for and so many good players to work with.

‘So if you ask me do I know what I want for the next transfer window? Yes, I know. Is it possible to get? I try always to be realistic.’

Manchester United have been persistently linked with a move for Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, who is likely to be among those wanted by Mourinho. The club have have an interest in Benfica defender Victor Lindelof and a host of Tottenham players including Harry Kane, Kyle Walker and Danny Rose.

Mourinho added: ‘I remember many years ago when I was asking for a second goalkeeper, the technical director gave me a list of possible second goalkeepers and the first choice was (Gianluigi) Buffon to be my second goalkeeper.

‘I’m always realistic, I always try to give options that are gettable, but we’ll have time to speak about it in the summer.’
