Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho and Ed Woodward ready to deliver £200million reinforcements this summer
Woodward is ready to work closely with his manager in order to deliver as many targets as possible
ED WOODWARD will help Jose Mourinho to hone his £200million transfer blueprint.
Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman will show his support for the Special One by working closely with him at the Carrington training complex on signings and departures.
Mourinho, who signed a deal until 2020 in January, knows some at the club question if he is the right man going forward, but Woodward will show owners the Glazers he backs the man he hired.
Mourinho’s targets include Napoli’s Jorginho, Juventus’ Alex Sandro, Spurs duo Danny Rose and Toby Alderweireld, Celtic’s Kieran Tierney and Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin.
Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian are set to be dumped with Chris Smalling and Phil Jones also under threat.
However, United have no plans to sign a new striker despite losing veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede saw his contract torn up in order to join MLS giants LA Galaxy.
And with Romelu Lukaku in good form, Mourinho is reluctant to splash out on another attacker.

He said: “We have Lukaku and Marcus Rashford as number nines, and of course Marcus can player right and left, but Marcus is a striker.
“Alexis can player as a striker, Martial can play as a striker, so without having another Lukaku, we have three more players that can play as a nine.
