Manchester United great Gary Neville urged Jose Mourinho this week to get rid of players who "do not fit" at the club.
As Mourinho continues his squad overhaul, it is just as important, if not more so, that he continues to bring new players to Old Trafford.
And with club captain Wayne Rooney out of favor, dropped by Mourinho for Saturday's English Premier League victory over Leicester City, United's new manager may need to go shopping for attacking talent in January.
The Sun reported Mourinho will compete with AC Milan for Real Madrid winger Isco when the transfer window re-opens.
Isco, 24, has become a peripheral figure this season at the Santiago Bernabeu under Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, making all of his league appearances this season from the substitutes' bench, with just 55 minutes of play.
The feeling persists that though Juan Mata has surprised many by winning a permanent place in Mourinho's team, the Portuguese would still like a quicker creative player to pull the strings for United behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Isco might once have appeared out of reach, but Zidane's arrival has marginalized him. United would be the favorite in a two-way tug of war with Milan. As Mourinho offloads players surplus to requirements, so new blood is essential, and the nimble Spaniard would be an excellent fit for his team.
