Manchester United target Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann, Mesut Ozil and Danny Rose as Jose Mourinho wants more left-footed stars in his squad

  • Manchester United have drawn up their transfer wish-list for next summer
  • Jose Mourinho is planning to raid Madrid and north London for new recruits
  • Mesut Ozil can join Manchester United on a free from Arsenal next summer 

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has drawn up a summer transfer wish-list including Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale, Mesut Ozil and Danny Rose.

The Manchester Evening News suggest Mourinho is targeting four left-footers to add balance to his squad ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

United have been long-time admirers of Real Madrid's Bale and tried to sign the Welshman when he left Tottenham in 2013.

Atletico Madrid's Griezmann was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford last summer but decided to stay in the Spanish capital because of his side's transfer ban which prevents them registering players until January.


Mourinho is also keen on raiding north London with Rose and Ozil set to leave Tottenham and Arsenal respectively during the next few months.

Rose has stated his desire to return to the north of England to live closer to his mum while United are in the market for a new left back as the futures of Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian and Luke Shaw remain up in the air.

Ashley Young, a winger by trade, has been deployed at left back but Mourinho wants to add an orthodox defender to his ranks.

Ozil, who is out of contract in the summer, is attracting interest from Manchester United and Barcelona but Mourinho is favourite to seal a reunion with the playmaker.

The German could fill the void left by Henrikh Mkhitaryan if the Armenian was to leave Old Trafford as Mourinho appears to have lost faith in the former Borussia Dortmund man.

Mkhitaryan, who was dropped for United's recent games against Newcastle and Basle before making a substitute appearance on Saturday, has been left out of Mourinho's squad for Tuesday's trip to Watford.
