Mourinho Set To Take Over As Manchester United Boss Before End Of The Season

Former Real Madrid and two-time Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho is ready to take over at Manchester United before the end of the season, according to reports.

An inside source disclosed to a Spanish website, COPE, that Mourinho has already signed a deal with Manchester United to take over as manager, although he isn’t expected to assume control at Old Trafford until the summer.

It is understood that the current coach, Louis Van Gaal, is to continue training at United until the end of the season, unless there is disaster in the near future, reports the site.

United had a successful outing against Stoke with a comfortable 3-0 win, suggesting an improvement in form for Van Gaal’s side.

Many fans of the Red Devils believe that Van Gaal is already a failure at the club and wonder why he had not made efforts to succeed in his games until now.

Van Gaal arrived in England with huge expectations from the club’s fans following large trophy cabinet, but series of defeats including the 5-3 defeat to Leicester City last term caused a huge damage to his reputations.
