Manchester United have already had talks with Jose Mourinho's agent over a new contract, IBTimes says.
There have been reports in the UK that the Portuguese could leave the Red Devils as he has become frustrated with their transfer business as they struggle to compete with Manchester City, but the board are confident of committing him to a deal beyond 2019.
After failure to ignite negotiations in November, there has been progress in talks with Jorge Mendes and both sides are confident of a new deal to keep the coach at Old Trafford.
