Gordon McQueen has urge Jose Mourinho to sign jack Wilshire from arch-rivals arsenal. McQueen who was a former united defender advise Mourinho to build his team around arsenal’s jack Wilshire.
With united set for a new era under new Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho who was appointed to take charge of the club from the 2016-17 season.

The new Manchester united manager already start his transfer business by completing his first signing of the transfer window by signing Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly who joined the former English champions on a four-year deal on Wednesday.

McQueen insist Mourinho should sign jack Wilshire from bitter rivals’ arsenal and build his team around the talented England midfielder. He feels a fully fit Wilshire can offer Manchester united a lot and the gunners could allow him to leave the club.


“United could build a team around a fit jack Wilshire, but right now I don’t think arsenal would sell him. They let Robin Van Persie go to united, so you never know,”
McQueen told goal.com

“united are a huge club and big name players will always listen to them, but they are not in the champions league next season and that will work against them,”
It is widely reported that manager Mourinho will be handed a huge transfer budget of 200 million pounds to strengthen the squad in the summer transfer window. McQueen feels Mourinho will spend the money wisely.

“I don’t think 200 million pounds will be anywhere near enough. The money involved nowadays has gone crazy,” the ex-united player said.

“Mourinho will spend every penny he is given, he has to, but he will also have to look closely at what he has already got before deciding where to strengthen and who he can realistically afford.

“He will have to sell some of his assets. Players like Jaun Mata will go. He already sold him once when they were at Chelsea together. His most sellable asset is Anthony Martial but that would get him off on the wrong foot with the united fans.

“His budgets will less than Pep Gaudiola at Manchester city, who already has a much stronger squad, so there will have to be a lot of wheeling and dealing. Mourinho will have to show his skills in the marketplace to make united competitive.”
