Jose Mourinho has reportedly signed a pre-contract
agreement with Manchester United to take over as the
new coach of the club this summer. The Portuguese
coach has been linked with Manchester United ever
since he was sacked by former club Chelsea in
December, but has now signed a pre- contract
agreement with Manchester United according to an
exclusive report by top Spanish newspaper El País.
According to the report Mourinho will be paid up to
£15m if by June 1, 2016 the club refuses to employ
him.
“If United do not sign the final contract [with
Mourinho] before 1 May, they must pay
£5m; if by 1 June he’s still not signed, they
shall pay another £10m. May is the key,
because it’s the month in which the vast
majority of the signings of players are closed
and the plans formed.” Read the report.
El País claim that the clause has been included because
senior figures at Old Trafford, including Sir Alex
Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton, are not entirely
convinced that Mourinho is the right man to succeed
Louis van Gaal.
Senior officials at Manchester United like Ed Woodward
have refused to deny the report.
