5 Players Who Would Love To Play Under Jose Mourinho At Manchester United

Media houses in Britain have been reporting that Jose Mourinho has been contacted by Ed Woodward, United’s CEO. There have been reports that van Gaal has been given an ultimatum, and although he did manage to beat a depleted Swansea City 2-1 last week, yet the performance was hardly inspirational. As such, there is an extremely high probability that the Portugese, who was sacked by Chelsea very unceremoniously a couple of weeks back, might take over as the Manchester United manager very soon. As such, we take a look at 5 players currently in the United team who would thrive under the former Porto man:

1. DAVID DE GEA

The Spaniard who was in the middle of a very controversial transfer tug-of-war between United and Real Madrid last summer, is the backbone of the Red Devil defence which has been extremely mean this season. The signature of any Mourinho team is a tight backline with an exceptional goalkeeper under the posts, be it Thibault Courtois and Petr Cech at Chelsea, or Iker Casillas and Diego Lopez at Real Madrid, and it is very likely that the former Atletico goalkeeper who is in the form of his life, will be at the heart of Mourinho renaissance.
