Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has indicated the need for a new central defender and left-back before the club embark on their pre-season tour of the United States next month.

United have already pursued the services of Fred and Diogo Dalot from Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto respectively this summer but Mourinho remains keen on bolstering the squad further.

According to M.E.N, the Portuguese head coach has urged Ed Woodward to recruit a new centre-back and left-back for the squad prior to jetting off to Los Angeles for pre-season on July 15.

Toby Alderweireld and Alex Sandro have been highlighted as the prime targets to bolster the positions this summer but neither of them appear close to joining United.

Both players are said to hold some interest in making the switch to Old Trafford but United are still reluctant to pay fees in excess of £100m to pursue the pair in the transfer window.
