Manchester United with the signing of Eric Bailly already have one of the paciest defences in club football. Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia can burn the flanks and Smalling is no slouch either. With potentially Zlatan and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to sign, Mourinho is assembling a potential title winning team at Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans would like to see Mourinho buy a couple of midfielders too but will be very happy on how the Portuguese has gone about finishing the transfers. It remains to be seen whether Mourinho trusts Wayne Rooney as a midfielder after his shocking performance against Iceland. Rooney’s career is at stake as he no longer has the pace or the drive to play upfront and his move to midfield has been anything but smooth. Mourinho generally prefers disciplined players in midfield and Wayne Rooney is often out of position. Rooney hasn’t adapted well to the midfield role as he generally leaves his position leaving his team prone to counters.
