ESPN: J. Mourinho wants to coach "Man United"

The American sports channel and news website ESPN spoke about Jose Mourinho's desires. The recently dismissed strategist of London's "Chelsea" club, according to sources, hopes to receive an offer from "Manchester United".

The chair of the poorly performing "Red Devils" coach Louis van Gaal is definitely shaking, as the team failed to advance to the UEFA Champions League knockouts, and currently occupies the fourth place in the English championship.

Such results do not promise a club revival, so recently there have been reports of "Man United" officials showing interest in Munich's "Bayern" strategist Pep Guardiola. However, the Spaniard will most likely choose "Manchester City".

Therefore, if the paths of the "Red Devils" and van Gaal were to diverge, Mourinho would be the most realistic candidate to replace him. Adding the fact that he gets along well with longtime team coach Sir Alex Ferguson and wants to train the Manchester team himself, such a turn of events seems very likely.
