What the papers say

Jose Mourinho is planning a series of player purchases for his arrival at Roma, with Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero and Brighton defender Ben White reportedly on his hit list. Romero, 34, has tumbled down United’s keeping pecking order of goalkeepers yet Mourinho is keen to be reunited with the Argentinian, whose contract expires this summer, the Daily Express reports. And Mourinho has also urged Roma to sign White, 23, although they will face competition for the £45m-rated centre-back from Manchester United and Arsenal, according to The Sun.
