Jose Mourinho has reportedly told the Manchester United board not to waste the summer's budget on Gareth Bale.
United are one of the teams closely linked to the Real Madrid star's signature following his comments after the Champions League final.
But The Sun are reporting that Mourinho is concerned his summer budget will be wasted if it all goes just on Bale.
Ed Woodward is allegedly keen to bring Bale to the club, but Mourinho wants him to find extra cash to complete the deal.
It is claimed that Mourinho wants his entire budget to land players that he is more interested in.

Ronaldo's mum would prefer Manchester return
Cristiano Ronaldo's mother would like the Real Madrid superstar to snub a move to Paris Saint-Germain and return to Manchester United.
The Portuguese superstar fuelled talk of a sensational exit from the Bernabeu following the Champions League final last weekend, claiming there would be an announcement on his future soon.
Initial reports have suggested that United would be interested in taking Ronaldo back, but would be rivalled by free-spending Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldo's mum, Dolores Aveiro, who shared the joy of a third Champions League triumph in as many years with her son on the pitch following the game, has claimed that she would prefer a move to Manchester over Paris.

In an interview with French TV, Aveiro said: "I like Paris. I come every now and again.
"The last time was when my son received the Ballon d'Or. It was a great honour. When I arrived I was treated well by everyone.
"Convince Cristiano to sign for PSG? To be honest, it wouldn't annoy me [if he did], but I would prefer him to return to Manchester United."
