Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho agrees to replace Louis van Gaal at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho is reported to have agreed a deal to take over at Manchester United

JOSE MOURINHO has agreed to take over at Manchester United when Louis van Gaal's contract runs out, according to reports.

 

The Chelsea manager has come under increasing pressure for his side's disastrous start to the season.

And while he may be given a stay of execution, it is understood Blues owner Roman Abramovich is becoming increasingly impatient.

 

t even if he sacked, his future might still remain in England.

Italian publication Tuttomercatoweb claim their is an agreement for the Portuguese to take the reins at Old Trafford when Van Gaal's contract expires at the end of next season.

Mourinho was one of the names considered as successor to Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 but any hopes of landing him were scuppered after he decided to move to Stamford Bridge for a second spell.

That spell is now in danger of coming to a premature end but United are unlikely to be put off by Mourinho's recent struggles.

While the boss has been unable to reproduce last season's title-winning form, he remains comfortably Chelsea's most successful ever manager.

And with three Premier League crowns, an FA Cup, three League Cups and two Champions League titles next to his name, Mourinho could be seen as the perfect replacement for Van Gaal.
