Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United are back in action today in early kickoff on Sunday against Bournemouth at the Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are fresh from a victory over Southampton in the League Cup final last weekend and the manager will be happy with the progress his side has made in recent times.
Though they are still in the 6th place in the points table, Manchester United are just a couple of points off a place in the top-4 and are also active in the FA Cup and also in the Europa League, giving Mourinho a shot at a treble in his first ever season at the club.
With Champions League qualification a real possibly, Mourinho is already looking to add some star players to his squad in the summer.
And one name that is doing the rounds today is Tottenham Hotspur star Eric Dier.
One of the most versatile players in the England at the moment, Dier, is an integral part of the national set up and also under Pochettino at the White Hart Lane but he has not been able to start games in his preferred position regularly.
The likes of victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele are first choice midfielders while Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld are first choice center backs for Tottenham Hotspur, leaving Dier to act as a backup when needed.
This has unsettled him at the club and reports from The Sun now claim that Jose Mourinho is ready to offer him a way out of London.
It is understood that the Portuguese manager is a fan of the 23-year old and wanted him in the January transfer window but the Spurs were adamant to keep him at the club and were ready to reject an offer close to £45m in January.
However, with not much changing at the Lane, Mourinho is now ready to him out of the club yet again this summer and is ready to make a £35m bid this time, which might be enough Pochettino to sell.
With Michael Carrick set to end his career at the club, Mourinho has been desperate for midfield additions this summer and has been looking at some star names recently.
But he is now convinced that Dier is the man who can replace the veteran at the club for the long term.
At just 23, Dier will only improve as a player and if he can also help Paul Pogba, the record signing for United, express himself next season.
Do you think Manchester United can land Eric Dier this summer?
