Metro UK reports that Mourinho's men had to settle for a 1-1 draw with AC Milan on Saturday, with Tammy Abraham initially appearing to win it for Roma at stoppage time - only for his goal to be cancelled.

The draw leaves Roma sitting in fifth in the Serie A standings, one place below AC Milan, with both sides on 57 points.

Mourinho wants Carina Wenninger

With only six games left to end the season, Mourinho wishes he could turn to female centre-back Wenninger.

The Roma female star, who is on loan from Bayern, recently helped the women’s team win the Italian top-flight title.

According to Mourinho, she could be a great addition to his team as they enter a critical stage of the season.
