The objectives set by Jose Mourinho for the upcoming season

Jose Mourinho is aware of the limitations of his team and has already met with the Manchester United board to request the addition of one or two midfielders who can cover the expected losses of Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini.

Among the names suggested by the Setubal-born coach, alongside perhaps unattainable Arturo Vidal or Marco Verratti, is Ivorian Jean Michaël Seri (26 years old), a player who has experienced a sensational progression since arriving at Nice and who came very close to joining FC Barcelona last summer.

If they finally decide to take action, it is likely that the Red Devils will have to face one of their biggest enemies, Manchester City. According to the Manchester Evening News, the sky blues coach Pep Guardiola is a great admirer of the African player and has also included his name on the list of possible reinforcements for the upcoming season.

With great physical strength and notable ball control, Seri could have an approximate cost of €40 million, a sum undoubtedly affordable for these great clubs from the islands who have already demonstrated more than enough capacity to spend money without batting an eye.
