Jose Mourinho has held talks with Manchester United about becoming the club’s next manager, it was reported on Friday.
Dan Roan and Simon Stone of BBC Sport claimed the Portuguese has been in discussions about taking over from incumbent boss Louis van Gaal.
“No agreement has been reached, and the club have made no comment, but negotiations have begun,” Roan and Stone reported, suggesting the Dutchman is likely to leave his post at the end of the season. They also claim Mourinho, who was sacked by champions Chelsea earlier in the campaign, is “excited” at the prospect of joining United.
