With more and more reports emerging that Jose Mourinho will indeed replace Louis van Gaal (recently confirmed by well-known Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio), it becomes clear that the Portuguese's desires are coming to the new team.
J. Mourinho would like "Man Utd" to approach Madrid's "Atletico" sports director Andrea Berta. The Italian is one of the key figures in the rise of the "Atletico" team and has good working relationships with J. Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes.
Of course, it is not officially clear whether "United" will indeed appoint Portuguese as the new coach, who is very eager to work in Manchester, if Louis van Gaal is no longer allowed to finish his last season as stipulated in his contract. It is also not known whether the Manchester management will be willing to make changes in such positions, as there have been no signs so far that any changes will be made in the leadership.
J. Mourinho's representatives pressured "United" to reach an agreement and replace Louis van Gaal, but according to the Spanish media, the Portuguese and Manchester representatives did not reach an official verbal agreement.
However, Jose Mourinho remains an excellent and viable candidate to take Louis van Gaal's place, knowing that the head coach position in the "United" team should be vacated after this season.
