JOSE MOURINHO has reportedly identified his first signing at Paris Saint-Germain.
And the move could tear apart Manchester United’s transfer plans in the process.

Former Red Devils, Chelsea and Tottenham boss Mourinho is being strongly tipped for the PSG job this summer.
Christophe Galtier is expected to be dismissed after a poor showing in the Champions League.
There are also claims of a massive squad fracture, with Lionel Messi set to depart along with world-record signing Neymar, who SunSport understands is another target for United.
And Roma gaffer Mourinho could be the man hired to solve the situation.
According to Foot Mercato, the Special One has already held a meeting with PSG chiefs expressing his desire to join.
Mourinho is also aware they appreciate their former player Thiago Motta, who is in charge at Bologna.
And he has now told PSG about one signing he believes can be a game-changer next term.
It’s claimed Morocco’s World Cup star Sofyan Amrabat is Mourinho’s first target should he get the PSG job.

The talented holding midfielder has been starring for Fiorentina over the past three years.
And Mourinho is so eager for Amrabat to anchor his PSG side that he’s already spoken to the player’s agent.
Amrabat hit headlines at the Qatar World Cup for helping Morocco to an impressive fourth-place finish.
Chelsea made a deadline day bid for him in January when a deal for Enzo Fernandez looked in doubt.
And Liverpool have also expressed interested as Jurgen Klopp plans a midfield revamp.
However, Man United have been leading the race recently in England.
Like Chelsea, they too tried landing Amrabat in January.
And it’s reckoned Erik ten Hag remains keen on a deal this summer, even though the player is believed to favour a move to Barcelona.
Amrabat’s agent said last month: “I can name three clubs who were concrete in the last two or three days of the transfer window.
“Man Utd wanted a loan with an option to buy, Fiorentina rejected.”
However, United may have to look elsewhere for midfield reinforcements should Mourinho and PSG come knocking.
Amrabat is out of contract in 2024 but Fiorentina are reluctant to sell for less than £50million.
