Jose mourinho: clubs are looking for me

The existence of any such correspondence was quickly denied, but it is generally understood that the 53-year-old is keen on the job at Old Trafford.

Ex-manager David Moyes was axed two years ago when United were no longer mathematically capable of qualifying for Europe’s premier competition the following season.

The Swedish striker has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer. They have spent heavily on transfers in the past year and his team are now fifth in the Premier League.

Mourinho and long-term assistant Rui Faria met up with Inter co-owner Massimo Moratti at the weekend to discuss the prospect of replacing Roberto Mancini at the San Siro, according to the Sun.

Jose Mourinho is expected to take over at Old Trafford at the end of the season and the Portuguese boss enjoys a great working relationship with the PSG forward.

Mourinho left Inter with fond memories in 2010, winning the European and domestic treble before departing to join Real Madrid and eventually moving back to Chelsea for his second west London stint in 2013. Inter are four points off the third and final Champions League place and they could be looking to Mourinho to turn round their fortunes. Van Gaal has managed 31 wins and 18 draws from 64 games – a 48 percent win ratio that is less than at all of his other clubs.

Worse still, last night saw United subjected to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Danish side Midtjylland in the Europa League.

“You can’t dispute the success he has had – that is why I am sure Manchester United are looking at him”, Luiz said, as quoted by the Mirror.

“Now, United need a striker as well”.

He’s lost a huge amount of respect in the game, and I suspect the players at United hate the idea of him taking over.

United have created just 29 clear-cut goalscoring opportunities in the Premier League this season, while the team have played just 218 key passes in England’s top tier this term, fewer than the likes of Crystal Palace (223), Swansea (238) and Bournemouth (257).
