Former Man Utd and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho tried to bring players like Gareth Bale to Old Trafford during his time there.
A five-man transfer list made by Jose Mourinho has revealed the superteam he was trying to build at Manchester United .At the time, Bale had been linked with a move back to the UK after falling out of favour with Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, who rarely started the Welshman.However, ultimately the deal fell through as Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy refused to entertain any offers below £75million, which was not achievable for United.
The final name on Mourinho's shortlist, was Brazilian midfielder Fred, who was the top target of the 2018/19 summer transfer window.Of course, Fred did join that summer for a fee of £52m and went on to make 213 appearances for United.Ben is a sports journalist who specialises in football and MMA.
