REPORTS: Jose Mourinho is telling friends the “Manchester United job is a done deal”

Ben Kenyon

Jose Mourinho could very well be the next Manchester United boss.

The former Chelsea manager is reportedly telling friends he is set to take over at Old Trafford next season.

The Portuguese man was sacked from Stamford Bridge after a dismal run of results but it looks increasingly likely he will take over from Louis van Gaal in the summer.

Spanish media already published the exact date they claim Mourinho will be unveiled as the new Red Devils manager.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was reportedly in the frame for the United job as he’s seen as a builder and a long-term option.

But several newspapers, including the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail, are running the Mourinho ‘done deal’ story on Wednesday’s back pages.
