Alternate Manchester United XI Mourinho could've built with the money he has spent

CM: N'Golo Kante (£32 million to Chelsea)

Chelsea signed Kante for £32 million - how much would he cost right now?

Both Chelsea and United were linked with the French powerhouse after his incredible title winning campaign with the Foxes (The Guardian), but the Red Devils were more hesitant in their approach. Many fans feared that Kante might turn out to be a one season wonder, and Chelsea swooped in to sign him for £32 million.

They couldn't have been more wrong. At the end of his first season in London, Kante became the first player since Eric Cantona to win back to back English top flight titles with two different clubs.

While Pogba has been impressive for United since re-signing for them, Kante's energy and combative approach in midfield would have greatly suited Mourinho's mentality. His diminutive build and playing style would also complement Matuidi's perfectly.

Alas, Kante's market value right now would easily be over €100 million. Mourinho should have signed him when he had the chance. Kante might not be as eye catching as Pogba, but he is just as as effective, if not more. Not to mention he would have cost £57 million lesser.
