<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho is targeting a swoop for Manchester United’s Charlie Wellens, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

Interest from another former club of Mourinho’s, Tottenham Hotspur, is said to be rivalling Roma for Wellens’ signature.<\/p>\n

A versatile player, Wellens has spent most of the past nine months at right-back but previously spent significant time as a right winger and central midfielder.<\/p>\n

The Sun<\/a> says “Mourinho is keen to bring Wellens to Roma after taking a shine to him during his spell at Old Trafford.”<\/p>\n

Wellens “was brought into first-team training by Mourinho for experience” during the Portuguese manager’s time in Manchester.<\/p>\n

A hard-working young player with a willingness to play across the pitch for the team, it is no surprise Wellens will have impressed Mourinho with his attitude.<\/p>\n

With 17 appearances for United’s u23s this campaign, the youngster impressed the hierarchy enough to be added to Champions League B list<\/a> before the Young Boys fixture but ultimately didn’t make the match day squad.<\/p>\n

A strong stable of young right-backs at the club, including Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Diogo Dalot, Ethan Laird and Marc Jurado in the academy, means any path into the first team will not be easy though.<\/p>\n

As a result, Wellens may be tempted by the offer of senior football elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Mourinho has been consistently linked<\/a> with another United right back, Diogo Dalot, but the 21-year-old’s recent breakthrough into regular first team action may have put him out of reach and forced the Roma boss to think again.<\/p>\n

The son of another United academy product, Charlie’s father Richie Wellens forged a long and successful career at clubs such as Blackpool, Leicester City, and Doncaster Rovers after leaving Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Following in his father’s footsteps, the young Wellens will be sure to look to his father for guidance on taking the next step in his career.<\/p>\n

Whether that move will be to Rome to play under Jose Mourinho or not, Wellens is certainly entering the crossroads in his development where he looks for senior football.<\/p>\n
