Manchester United 'want two January signings'

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho reportedly wants to bring two new players to Old Trafford when the winter transfer window opens for business.

Mourinho was desperate to bring a new central defender to United during the summer, but the club are believed to have refused to sanction a move due to a perceived lack of value in the market.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Mourinho has £100m to spend in January and is determined to bring in a new centre-back to ease his team's defensive problems.

However, according to Manchester Evening News, the United boss is also determined to sign a new forward, with Romelu Lukaku currently on a run of nine games without a goal for his club.

United will look to make it back-to-back Premier League wins when they travel to in-form Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
