Man Utd Transfers: 10 Players Jose Mourinho Should Sign This Summer
5. Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku looks almost a lock for his ostensibly preferred move to Chelsea following a statement to the Belgian media advising that his 'agent knows what's going to happen, and I know as well'.
Without naming the club, the comments came as a bitter blow to optimistic Everton fans that clung on to faint hope that goal machine Lukaku would somehow remain a Toffee.
Lukaku's eventual move has been a protracted and tortuous inevitability for Evertonions after his flat rejection of a new contract in March, but even they may appreciate a twist in the tale should Jose Mourinho swoop in late with a disruptive bid and an offer of Old Trafford supremacy.
United look spoiled for choice in options across the footballing landscape in providing much-needed enhancement up front, but even 'The Special One' wouldn't be typically laissez faire on snapping up the striker should a late opportunity emerge.
His potential £100million pound return to Stamford Bridge will see Everton net a huge profit from a deal that sent the player in the opposite direction four years earlier, but Mourinho has prior experience with the player that may outweigh transfer fees should he attempt a last minute hijack.
