Jose Mourinho's Transfer Search Deepens as Galatasaray Winger Reveals Direct Talks With United Boss

Published on: 09 December 2016

Jose Mourinho's search for new players to bolster his squad appears to be growing as Galatasaray's Bruma becomes the second player to admit to having direct talks with the Manchester United boss.


Earlier reports this week have suggested that the Portuguese coach has been in contact with West Ham United's star manDimitri Payet on the phoneover a potential move to Old Trafford, with Mourinho looking to improve the side going forward after a frustrating start to the season for his attackers.

And now, according to Portuguese news outletFanatik, another player has revealed to have been in contact with the former Chelsea coach, this time during a pre-season game in July, and Bruma has suggested that he is flattered by the connection and the care shown by Mourinho, but insists he still has a long way to go yet before his big move.


"I feel that an important manager is interested in me is very nice and it's a great feeling that he cares about me," said the 22-year-old.

"I have to do great things at Galatasaray to open the doors. I think it's early to think about it."


Bruma has started the season well in the Superlig Turkish top flight, producingfive goals and three assists in 13 games this season, starting in every one of their league games to date.


However, one has to question where the player would fit into the side who have an abundance of pacy wide players already at the club, includingAnthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Henrikh Mkhitaryanand Juan Mata.
