Club eye double deal for Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo that would rock Man United
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN want to complete a shock double swoop for Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo this summer that would rock Manchester United's plans for next season, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claim out-of-work Mourinho is in talks with PSG officials about replacing Laurent Blanc.
And reports in Italy suggest United will also struggle to land Ronaldo before the summer is out.
According to newspaper Corriere dello Sport, PSG are determined to sign Ronaldo as soon as Edinson Cavani completes his expected departure.
Cavani, 29, is tipped to join Juventus and PSG will immediately look to secure 31-year-old Ronaldo's signature once the deal is complete.
United themselves were said to be eyeing Cavani - as well as Ronaldo - but Juve is the Uruguay international's preferred choice.
PSG are reportedly planning major changes at the club in an effort to push for Champions League glory next season.
Current boss Blanc could lose his job despite steering the club to the Ligue 1 title.
Mourinho, 53, is United's No 1 candidate to replace Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, should the Dutchman leave at the end of the season.
They have been urged to act fast or miss out on Mourinho, who today shied away from suggestions he was heading to Manchester.
United are unlikely to make a firm decision on Van Gaal's managerial future until after this Saturday's FA Cup final.
Van Gall himself insists he is going nowhere, with the former Netherlands boss still contracted to United until 2017.
As for Ronaldo, United reportedly value the Portugal international at £48million, while the Chinese Super League are also said to be keen on signing him.
