Jose could replace LVG at Utd – Lampard

Frank Lampard has predicted Jose Mourinho will return at a “big club” and if that club were to be Manchester United then his former manager could “handle a club like that”.

Pochettino has excelled with Spurs this season, leading the North London side into the Premier League title race with a side that has been fully blooded with young talent- including that of Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

The Red Devils will be hoping they can once again find themselves in a favourable position to make it to the Champions League next season.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United are targeting the Frenchman as they prepare to bring in defensive reinforcements, with Bilbao’s Aymeric Laporte and Everton’s John Stones Stones also on their shortlist.

Ray Wilkins says he “wouldn’t put it past” Jose Mourinho making a stunning move for John Terry if he becomes Manchester United manager.

“I think [United] is a possibility”.

“Manchester United is that kind of club”.

The Special One gave United chief-executive Ed Woodward instruction to sell the pair, who cost a combined £64m, at a recent meeting, the Daily Mail adds.

“But I think for the long run, I would sway for Giggsy because he understands the philosophy of the club and knows it. I think a big part of it would be the element of youth”.

Mata is also a popular figure at Old Trafford, and any decision to sell him wouldn’t help ingratiate Mourinho with some of United’s supporters.

‘At the moment, I can’t see anyone taking on Pep and his tactics at Manchester City.

An injury had stopped Lingard’s season short, but the 23-year-old has now come back from his ailment, and has even gone on to score a very important goal.

Mourinho and Guardiola shared a fierce rivalry during their terms in the Spanish League as chief coaches of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
