Normally, the phrase ‘done deal’ is something many football fans take with a pinch of salt.
That said, when it’s being uttered by someone who we all know is extremely well connected, we sit up and take a bit more notice.
In this case, it’s Harry Redknapp, who has fanned the Jose Mourinho to Manchester United flames after his chat with American radio station, Sirius XM.
Redknapp didn’t sugar-coat Louis van Gaal’s ‘disaster’ of a time in charge of the Old Trafford club, claiming that the word in the football circles in which he moves is that his replacement is all but sealed.
“It hasn’t worked out at all for Louis van Gaal at Manchester United. It’s been a disaster for him. No doubt about that.
“From the people I know who are in the know, it seems Jose Mourinho to United is a done deal.”
