Reports in Spain have suggested that Jose Mourinho has finally signed a pre-contract agreement, making him the new United manager next season. Spanish newspaper El Pais have claimed that Mourinho has given the green light to replacing Louis van Gaal at the end of this season.
According to this alleged agreement, if the deal for the Portuguese maestro isn’t finalized by May 1, United will owe him a staggering £5m. Furthermore, if the deal still doesn’t happen by June 1, they’ll have to add another £10m to that. In case this deal doesn’t go through, United have identified Mauricio Pochettino, Ryan Giggs or Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel as possible alternatives, given the inevitability of Van Gaal’s departure from the club.
Real Madrid had considered bringing Mourinho back to the Bernabeu earlier and had contacted Jorge Mendes regarding the Portuguese’s whereabouts. But Mendes denied their approach because Mourinho was hesitant to return to the Spanish capital and also because an agreement had been made with United in February.
But Real Madrid weren’t the only ones interested. Inter Milan were interested too. Mourinho and chief lieutenant Rui Faria had agreed to meet Inter co-owner Massimo Moratti last month. But amidst strong United speculations, Inter gave up the chase. An Inter Milan director confirmed last month that Mourinho was ready to take the United job.
If this deal happens, the next season is shaping up to be an absolute belter. With the likes of Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Wenger and Conte ready to take their clubs to glory. Can we just give Leicester the title and start the next season already?
