Jose Mourinho has made Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba his primary transfer target, according to The Times.
Pogba has been strongly linked with a move away from the Serie A champions for some time, with a host of teams across Europe keeping tabs on the France international.
Mourinho is believed to be a huge fan of Pogba's having tried to sign him for Chelsea last summer, only to be left disappointed in his pursuit of the midfielder.
However, the Portuguese manager remains keen on the 23-year-old and could return for Pogba this summer and has been promised the "complete backing" of chief executive Ed Woodward in the transfer market.
Manchester United have been routinely linked with a move for former youth academy product Pogba, though will have to work to convince Juventus to sell.
The youngster gained a better WhoScored rating (7.81) than any other player in Serie A this season.
