Man U to appoint Mourinho this month

Manchester United could replace current manager Louis van Gaal with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho before their next home league game with Arsenal on February 28, according to The Sun.

With the Red Devils looking hard-pressed to secure Champions League qualification through a top-four finish, and the Europa League may be the Dutch coach’s best bet of securing a European Cup return for United.

Moyes was unable to steer United to the top four places when he was at the helm in the 2013/14 season.

Van Gaal looks increasingly likely to be be sacked after a woeful season for United hit a new low following last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Sunderland.

“Obviously, at a club of that size, people want results immediately, but it’s not as easy as that”.

United can also qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.

“There’s so much media attention on Louis van Gaal just now”.

The ESPN FC crew discuss Manchester United’s continued poor performance in the Premier League after their loss to Sunderland.

“We’ve probably got off quite lightly and the manager has taken a lot of it, but we’re going on the pitch. But I still believe I was the right person to take the job”.

“However, during December I said that I expect more and he was very disappointed I said that, but I think I can say that because my expectation is higher”.

“The important thing now, I feel, is to win trophies again this season”, he added.

“It’s a very good group of players”, Rooney told English newspapers.

“You have to win this kind of matches but we can only blame ourselves”.

“We couldn’t cope with Sunderland’s aggression and set pieces”.
