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.

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.

He is still better than van Gaa anyways

Mourinho, the proverbial cat with nine lives
