Jose Mourinho (allegedly) tells friends he is the next manager of Man U and will resume by July 1

Former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has reportedly told his close friends and associates that he will be the new manager of Manchester United and can't wait to be in action for the Red Devils from the 1st of July, 2016.

All the major newspapers in Portugal, Italy, Spain and now England (Daily Mail, Mirror, Daily Star, Sun) have reported that Jose Mourinho has agreed with the Manchester United board to take over from Louis van Gaal at the end of this season and herald a fresh start for Britain's biggest club.

Mourinho told his friends according to the reports that the Man U job was too good an offer to turn down.

Last Sunday, Louis van Gaal publicly rallied against the suggestions that he will not be kept on at Old Trafford, following Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.
