Jose Mourinho is set to become the next manager of
Manchester United, with talks due to take place early
next week, according to Sky sources.
Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes is due to fly to England
from China on Tuesday to negotiate a deal that would
see the the 53-year-old Portuguese replace Louis van
Gaal.
Van Gaal’s United side won the FA Cup on Saturday by
defeating Crystal Palace 2-1 after extra time at
Wembley.
United stayed in London on Saturday night and have no
plans for a victory parade in Manchester, with the club
believed to be angry that news of Mourinho’s potential
appointment overshadowed the club’s first FA Cup win
since 2004 and first piece of silverware since the
departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Mourinho has been out of work since being sacked by
Chelsea last November after overseeing the Blues’
worst start to a Premier League campaign.
Van Gaal refused to comment on his future following
the match, which looks set to be his last in charge,
saying: “I show you the cup. I don’t discuss [my future]
with the media.”
Van Gaal has previously insisted that he would see out
the last year of his contract, despite his side failing to
secure a top four spot and Champions League football
for next season.
The 64-year-old has invested over £250m on new
players during his two-year reign at Old Trafford, but a
fifth-place finish means United will play in the Europa
League during the 2016-17 campaign.
