The Manchester United boss wants to make a blockbuster signing which will make the headlines across the football world, whatever the cost. The Portuguese coach has his eyes on the two stars of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid respectively, but their potential signing will be far from easy.
The 'Daily Mail' report thatr the Red Devils are already working on making huge move in next summer's transfer market in order to satisfy Mourinho. The Premier League outfit have enough money in the bank, but they don't yet know which player to choose.
They are the two names which keep popping up on the wishlist at Old Trafford, two names which will be hard to get, as neither Real nor Atletico will be willing to let them go without a fight.
On one hand there's Gareth Bale, who, according to the aforementioned source, would have better medical treatment at Manchester United to help get over his injury problems, as well as having a better wage.
On the other, there's Antoine Griezmann, who is in terrible form at Atletico and was even booed in his last home game, in the derby against Real Madrid. The Frenchman is not happy with the criticism he is receiving from his own fans during his goal drought and he may well fancy a move away Spain to bring his current nightmare to an end.
Two world class players, but which one will United go for?
