Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reportedly believes he has a “gentleman's agreement” with Manchester United chief-executive Ed Woodward to become the next Red Devils boss.
That's according to Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News, who reported Mourinho is yet to sign any sort of pre-contract with the club, but he's confident he will replace current manager Louis van Gaal next season.
The Portuguese's agent, Jorge Mendes, would rather see Mourinho replace the Dutchman at some point this season, but Woodward remains hesitant to sack Van Gaal and will instead wait until summer before officially appointing a successor.
