Who Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has scouted during internationals

Jose Mourinho went on a personal scouting mission to Belgium last week. Mourinho has reportedly identified Axel Witsel as a January transfer target and traveled to Brussels to watch him compete in Belgium's 2-0 win over Iceland in the Nations League. Another Belgium star, Toby Alderweireld, has also been linked with Manchester United. But according to Belgian outlet HLN, Mourinho was actually in the country to watch Witsel. But in an interview, Mourinho said that he has no hidden cause and he came to enjoy his free days. "I have no hidden cause," Mourinho told HNTV. "I just came to enjoy my free days and visit some friends like [former Real Madrid forwards] Predrag Mijatovic and Davor Suker. "I know everyone believes I came to watch some players, but in football today you don't have to travel around in order to see some players, I know all of them well. "I came as a person that wants to relax and enjoy the nice weather, unlike the rainy weather in Manchester."
