Jose Mourinho 'Reserved' Talisca for Manchester United Amid Wolves Rumours

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly "reserved" the purchase of Besiktas sensation Anderson Talisca ahead of the midfielder's return to Benfica from his loan in Turkey, with Wolverhampton Wanderers also interested.

Portuguese newspaper A Bola (h/t Sport Witness) published a front-page decreeing United's interest, and although both Besiktas and Wolves are also in the race, the Red Devils are said to be in talks to cut a €40 million (£35.4 million) deal.

It's mentioned Besiktas have a €21 million (£18.6 million) purchase option for Talisca at the end of his two-year loan (this summer) and are already negotiating to drop that figure.
