Jose Mourinho linked again to Manchester United job

Mourinho meanwhile is being heavily linked with the Manchester United manager’s job, with the Old Trafford side struggling this season and expected to part company with Louis van Gaal at the end of the current campaign.

Bedy Moratti, Massimo’s sister, was filmed leaving a lunch meeting with Mourinho and told Calcio Mercato in a video interview: “It was pleasant”.

When asked if the Portuguese would be making a sensational return to the San Siro, Moratti, an Honourary President at the club, let slip that his destination would be the north-west of England.

Inter president Erick Thohir played down speculation of Mourinho replacing Mancini.

The former Chelsea boss will spend the weekend in Milan to watch Inter’s clash with Sampdoria on Saturday night, as well as catch up with Moratti after the pair enjoyed a great relationship during his relatively brief spell in Italy.

Needless to say, her comments have got Manchester United fans giddy with excitement at the prospect that the cat is (once again) out of the bag.

“Right now I have respect for every coach and every club”.

“I’ll be in Milan for one day – I am grateful to my president Massimo Moratti, who I want to personally thank”, he said. “Inter have a project and that is [Erick] Thohir and Roberto Mancini”.

And according to Football Insider, the former Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Porto boss has already agreed a lucrative deal with the Red Devils.

But now there’s a new theory gathering momentum – that born victor Mourinho purposely sabotaged Chelsea’s season because he wanted to be sacked and take charge of his “dream club”, Man United.

“Their ideas have my full support and I hope their plans are successful”.
