Mourinho and Manchester United has been a long case of flirting ever since the former's exit from Stamford Bridge. To add to that, United hasn't been in the best of form for a few months now and Louis Van Gaal's exit became imminent after a humiliating defeat last month against FC Midtjylland.
But reports by the Mirror today said that the favorite to land LVG's job, Mourinho's fate depends on the trial between him and former Chelsea physician Eva Caneiro. After an outburst against her on the opening day of the season against Swansea at the Bridge, Mourinho fired her from her job after which she came back at him with a suit of constructive dismissal.
Chelsea and Eva Caneiro held a private hearing to settle the case, but when asked whether the parties had reached a settlement, Eva shook her head. Her lawyers didn't comment on the matter. This means that a public hearing is very plausible and since texts and emails can be used as evidence against the Portuguese, it could put his dream job under threat.
A few United directors are said to be unconvinced about Mourinho's off-field antics and dealings with officials and a public employment tribunal would not help his cause. Also with the case likely to drag on till June, United would want to hold off his employment till the matter is settled. Will this case impede Mourinho's progress towards his dream job?
