Jose Mourinho ready to wage war on Real Madrid

Jose Mourinho is a step away from becoming the next Manchester United coach, after Louis van Gaal was sacked. Mourinho is ready to declare war on Real Madrid when he takes his new position, not only boycotting any signings they may wish to make, but also to swoop for players of theirs.

The first measure will be to try and stop the departure of David de Gea. He doesn't want a situation like the one which happened last year. Florentino Perez knows it will be tricky to prise the keeper away from Mourinho's clutches.

Zidane isn't as fussed, and rates the two goalkeepers he has - Keylor Navas and Kiko Casilla. Mourinho is also interested in some Madrid players - James Rodriguez, Isco and Raphael Varane are three he would like.
