Manchester United's Jose Mourinho eager to follow up Romelu Lukaku capture with HUGE bid for Tottenham's Eric Dier.

Image result for Tottenham's Eric DierReds' boss feels they should even go to £60million to get England midfielder understood to be keen to move north.
Jose Mourinho wants Manchester United chief Ed Woodward to make rivals Tottenham an irresistible £60million offer for Eric Dier. United boss Mourinho has been pressing executive vice-chairman Woodward all summer for key signings, after coming sixth in the Premier League last term in his first year in charge. The Reds missed out on Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, but have since splashed £75m on Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.
Now Mourinho wants another holding midfielder, despite Michael Carrick penning a contract extension until 2018. Mourinho initially thought he could prise Dier away from Spurs with a bid of around £40m and an offer to double the player's wages.
But Tottenham have stubbornly refused to sell and recently stressed they are prepared to resist all bids for Dier, after insisting he is not for sale.
Yet Mourinho is refusing to concede defeat and is still lobbying Woodward to get his man. It is even understood Mourinho could even ask United to go as high as £60m to land one of his priority targets. Dier, who has 19 caps, is understood to be keen on the move despite only signing a five-year contract worth around £70,000-a-week last September.
The 23-year-old, signed from Sporting Lisbon in August 2014 for £4m, has faced competition to anchor the Londoners' midfield from Victor Wanyama, who joined last summer having previously played for Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino at Southampton.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is loathe to lose Dier to the Old Trafford giants — especially as he is expected to sell England right-back Kyle Walker to Mancunian neighbours City for £50m.
