Jose Mourinho has confirmed to Sky Sports News HQ he has handed over responsibility for summer transfers to Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Sky sources understand Mourinho is targeting four top signings at Manchester United this summer, with Antoine Griezmann the primary target.

While Griezmann himself also recently revealed to French television his chances of moving to old Trafford were "six out of ten".

When asked how likely it was that the Griezmann transfer would happen, Mourinho replied that it was now in Woodward's hands, having passed over his list of targets some months ago.

"I have no idea. You have to ask Ed Woodward," Mourinho told Sky Sports News HQ. "He knows since March, who I want, what I want, how much I want.

"He knows everything since March and now it's for him to work because he will have holidays in August and I will be working.

"I'm really happy with our season, I'm really happy with the trophies, I'm really happy to be back in the Champions League but now it's the time for me to have a rest, to disconnect completely, to do other things.
