10 most expensive Jose Mourinho signings

#8. Henrikh Mkhitaryan – £30m

Mkhitaryan was influential in Man Utd’s Europa League triumph

Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in 2016

The Armenian was one of four signings made by Mourinho last season as Manchester United manager. The transfer caused a lot of fiasco between the player's agent and former club Borussia Dortmund resulting in Dortmund announcing his departure long before Manchester United officially confirmed his arrival.

Mkhitaryan took some time to adjust to his new surrounding but proved to be a very important member of the team in the latter parts of the seasons. He scored 6 goals in the Europa League including one in the final against Ajax.

#7. Willian – £30m

Willian was one of Mourinho’s first names on the team sheet

Anzhi Makhachkala to Chelsea in 2013

Willian's signing is one for the ages. The player was initially contacted by Liverpool, he then arrived in London for a medical with Spurs before a last minute intervention from Chelsea changed his course to Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian proved to be one of Mourinho's favourite players and was also named Chelsea's player of the season during the disastrous 2015/16 campaign. He also revealed that there was interest from Manchester United last season after Mourinho took over as manager.
