Having spent as much money on new players as Ric Flair has on custom made, rhinestone robes, Jose Mourinho is now looking at ways in which to trim his Manchester United squad for the coming season and it looks as though Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is one of the players who will be departing Old Trafford. For this season, at least.
The young full-back, who shot to prominence when a series of defensive injuries offered him a first team opportunity under Louis Van Gaal, last season, is wanted by both West Brom and West Ham, according to The Daily Star. However, it should be noted that Mourinho is only looking to sanction a season long loan move for the promising defender, rather than a permanent transfer.
Mourinho recently allowed three youngsters to move to Sunderland, with Paddy McNair and Donald Love signing for the Black Cats in a £5.5m deal, while Adnan Januzaj, the youngster who was once possessed with all the confidence and promise of a young Randy Orton, made the move to the North East on a loan deal.
