Mourinho monitoring Atletico’s Saul Niguez
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly keeping tabs on Atletico Madrid midfielder, Saul Niguez.
According to the Mirror, the midfielder, who is known as Saul, is a target for Mourinho who may want to strengthen his midfield as he prepares to let Morgan Schneiderlin leave for Everton.
With Michael Carrick also out of contract at the end of the season, Mourinho believes the Spaniard could be an option for a summer move.
There’re doubts over the long-term future of the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, who has failed to work his way into Mourinho’s plans this season. While Maroune Fellaini has reportedly been offered a one-year extension at Old Trafford.
The Spanish international has come through the ranks at Atletico Madrid and has one senior appearance for his country.
During his time at Madrid, he has won Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring four goals from midfield already this campaign.
