Jose Mourinho to Manchester United

Manchester City has officially announced that Pep Guardiola will take over from Manuel Pellegrini on June 30 at Etihad stadium. The noisy neighbors are getting a world class coach in Pep Guardiola who has won title in every league he has ever been, that’s two.

This has caused panic in Manchester United camp and the fans are asking for Jose Mourinho as the new manager for the next season. Will United get Mourinho? That remains the big question.

The Portuguese is a proven winner, there is no doubt. Even he has won trophies in whichever club he has been to. However, his most notable achievements came when he won the Champions League with rather two very unlikely clubs Porto and Inter.

If Pep comes to Manchester, the red side of the city should also gear up for the battle and probably opt for Jose Mourinho. The coach is however, avoiding any kind of speculations or rumors about this. Now let’s examine the events.

1. Jose Mourinho was an apprentice under Louis Van Gaal and they have mutual respect for one another. Even if Mourinho wants the United job and he is being signed behind the screen, he will not cause any defamation to Van Gaal. He is most likely to keep his mouth shut.

2. Jorge Mendes is very close with the United board. Should Louis Van Gaal’s performance drop Mendes, Mourinho’s agent, will definitely play a role in the appointment.

3. Mourinho is usually very verbal. However when asked if he will be taking up the United job, he has refused to comment which probably means that if he were not to then he would have openly said “No”.

Now it is a wait and watch game but we sure do wish to see Mourinho in English Premier League and reignite the fierce rivalry with Pep Guardiola.
