Jose Mourinho has signed a contract with Manchester United
to become their next manager with an announcement expected before the end of
the season. The former Chelsea manager has been linked with replacing Louis van
Gaal for months and he is widely expected to take over at Old Trafford. The
odds of him doing so have become incredibly small. However a potential
complication arose when it emerged recent;y that Paris St Germain were also
willing to offer the Portuguese coach a return to management. It’s understood
that development has....
focused minds at Manchester United on securing the
services of the serial winner. Mourinho
The Express claim that Mourinho penned a contract at Old Trafford at the end of
last week. They also claim that an announcement could be made in the next two
weeks. That would mean acknowledging a change before the season finishes on 15
May. It would also mean, following Manchester United’s win over Everton, that
the FA Cup final on 21 May would be Van Gaal’s final game in charge. Finally,
the story that leads the back of Express newspaper claims that Mourinho will
have full control over the club’s transfer policy.
Top of his wish-list will be
Benfica’s Renato Sanches, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and John Stones. Louis van Gaal
has a year to run on his contract at Old Trafford but refused to be drawn on
his future after United’s 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Everton at Wembley.
United are currently fifth in the Barclays Premier League and there has been
plenty of talk this season about boss Van Gaal being replaced in the summer.
And having praised his team for their efforts on Saturday, the Dutchman – asked
how important winning the FA Cup could be for the team’s development heading
into next season – said: “I am not looking beyond this competition and FA Cup,
because we live in the present.
