Jose Mourinho has told close associates he
believes he will be the next Manchester United
manager as rumours continue to swirl
concerning the Old Trafford job.

Mourinho has been lurking in the shadows at
United ever since his sack by Chelsea in
December, and is now said to be very confident
of succeeding the embattled L o u i s Van Gaal
and renewing his old rivalry with Pep Guardiola .

United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward ,
wary of his position with the Glazers, has
always been reluctant to sack Van Gaal and
the Dutchman reacts with fury to any
suggestion that his job is under threat.

But with the Red Devils already bundled out of
the Champions league and now six points adrift
of qualification next season, a managerial
shuffle has become ineluctable.
Former FC Porto and Real Madrid boss
Mourinho , has categorically stated that he
wants to manage in the Premier League next season.

“To be fully happy I need everything, so I go
back to football. I think it’s my natural habitat. I
have worked since I can remember, and as a
manager since 2000. For sure, I will be back
soon,” he told GQ.

“At this moment I don’t have a job, and I don’t
know where football will take me, because in
football you never know. But for sure — for sure,
for sure — as a family, our home will still be
England.”
