According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has just nine more days to sort out the incomings and outgoings before the transfer window slams shut for four months.
"I don't comment. I don't care," he said when asked about the possibility of signing Southampton defender Jose Fonte last week. "The market is open until the 31 of August. I keep saying I am very happy with the players I have. I don't speak."
United are understood to want to sell Marcos Rojo, while Phil Jones appears to be interesting Stoke manager Mark Hughes. If both were to depart and Fonte came in, that would leave Mourinho with a 25-man squad, unless he drafts in Axel Tuanzebe as the fourth central defender.
Tuanzebe, 18, is yet to make his senior competitive debut but has excelled in both of the Under-23s' fixtures this month and looks ready for senior football. He could appear for the juniors at Southampton tonight.
