Jose Mourinho does not even have his feet under the desk and he has already been linked with bringing 16 players to Manchester United.
The fun and games have already started. Jose Mourinho is the heavy favourite to be Manchester United’s next boss and the transfer rumour mill has cranked up to ’11’.
In less than 24 hours, the English press had already linked ‘Mourinho’s United’ to 16 players:

Were Mourinho to get the United job – his representatives are at Old Trafford meeting club officials today – he would be expecting a transfer war-chest.
The current United team have some star quality and promising youngsters but Mourinho will, no doubt, bolster the squad with steel, pace and guys who can pass the ball forward.
Were United to get even a fraction of the players currently being linked to them, their 2016/17 matchday squad would take some beating.
SUBS:Â Romero, Smalling, Fosu-Mensah, Schneiderlin, Garay, Morata, Rashford
We’ve opted to leave Thomas Muller off the Dream Team as even we will never believe the German striker would leave Bayern Munich.
Also, someone should start linking United to goalkeepers because Sergio Romero ain’t going to cut it.
Actually, come to think of it, he won the league with a Chelsea team that had Mark Schwarzer starting the season as its back-up goalkeeper so maybe it’s not a problem.
