It’s the news that many Manchester United fans didn’t want to hear.
Spanish paper Marca have gone big on the news that Jose Mourinho will NOT be the manager of Manchester United next season. They confidently report that the deal is now off.
Many had assumed that Mourinho was a dead cert to replace Louis van Gaal at the end of the season, and there have even been numerous reports of the Portuguese scouting players for his United arrival.
But Marca say the decision has been made to veto the plan. They claim that the board are now “keen to replace him with a figure that won’t overshadow the club”.
They suggest promotion from within and claim the management have “already taken steps towards promoting Giggs from his current post as assistant manager.”
