Manchester United have contacted Jose Mourinho within the last hour we’ve been told.
We do not know any exact details, for now, but United have moved quickly to secure the former Chelsea manager as it seems increasingly likely that Louis Van Gaal is to be jettisoned.
There are a lot of things to be ironed out before Mourinho could be appointed. Some on the board are concerned by his behaviour and the way his sides play football but it seems the lure of the success, he undoubtedly brings, is outweighing any negativity.
At the moment that is all we know but we will work on bringing you more as soon as we hear anything else.
** Update 7.00pm **
What we’ve also been told, from a different source this,
that a key player and member of staff went to see members of the board on Friday night and told them “appoint Mourinho now”. The feeling is that the season can be saved and United can still win the league
IF Mourinho is appointed instantly. Our source says they were told this before today’s game and had doubts straightaway that United would win today.
