Former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, is edging closer to a deal with Manchester United as their head coach.
According to Sky Sports, the close family friend to Louis van Gaal, who was axed by United on Monday, may be announced by the current FA Cup holder as manager in the next 48 hours.
His agent is already in England to hold talks with Manchester United. He arrived the club premises on Tuesday morning.
The British media has heavily linked the former Real Madrid and Inter coach to the job at Old Trafford.
His arrival at Man United would definitely frustrate Ryan Giggs’ stay at the club he has called home for almost 30 years.
It is believed that the United legend has been assured of a role at the club, but he may likely not accept the offer, instead opt for a managerial role elsewhere.
Van Gaal was sacked on Monday after two years in charge. He failed to qualify the former European champions for next season’s Champions League, but won the FA Cup for them last Saturday after 12 years without the silverware.
