After signing Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku this summer, Nemanja Matic's £40m move from Chelsea underlines Jose Mourinho's proclivity for players of a certain stature.
Of the seven signings the United boss has made, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the only one under 6ft 1in, while Matic stands at almost 6ft 4in. Here are Mourinho's giants:
Eric Bailly - 6ft 1in
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 6ft 4in
Paul Pogba - 6ft 2in
Romelu Lukaku - 6ft 2in
Victor Lindelof - 6ft 1in
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - 5ft 8in
Nemanja Matic - 6ft 3in
