– Louis van Gaal is chasing Renato Sanches
– Mourinho can join Manchester United and bring three new players
According to the Portuguese source A Bola, Manchester United has reportedly agreed the deal on the Portugal international player Renato Sanches with Benfica.
The source reports that the manager of the Red Devills Louis van Gaal has seemingly been tracking the player for a while now, and has reportedly reached an agreement over a £40 million deal.
It also should be noted that Benfica are also demanding £8m in additional bonuses before they allow the deal to go through.
Meanwhile, according to Don Balon, Jose Mourinho is planning to replace Louis van Gaal next summer and he has begun scouting targets and drawing up transfer plans, with Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain, Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez and Juventus forward Alvaro Morata all on his radar.

The source notes United have already sounded out Napoli over a summer move, though they will need to fork out £58 million to land the Argentine.
Mourinho reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Manchester United earlier this year but that has not stopped Arsenal from considering Mourinho as a possible manager at the Emirates.
Meanwhile it is believed the Portuguese would not move to Old trafford after reports emerged that United have put Louis van Gaal in their summer transfer plans. Spanish media Fichajes has now reported that Arsenal are thinking about making a move for the ex-Blues boss to replace Arsene Wenger.
