Man Utd news: De Gea in Sanchez mutiny, Mourinho drops Real Madrid confession, Jones plan
MANCHESTER UNITED news is coming in following their dramatic 2-1 win over Bournemouth. Express Sport brings you all the latest from Old Trafford with David De Gea, Alexis Sanchez, Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid and Phil Jones all featuring.
Manchester United players and fans are no doubt enjoying their weekends following the dramatic 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Once again, the Red Devils fell behind, with Callum Wilson firing Eddie Howe’s side into a deserved first-half lead.
However, Manchester United responded in emphatic fashion with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford securing all three points.
Express Sport brings you all the latest news in the aftermath of that game.
De Gea in Sanchez mutiny
Manchester United star David De Gea is refusing to sign a new contract because of Alexis Sanchez.
That’s according to the Daily Mirror, who claim the Spaniard wants pay parity with the Chile international.
The Red Devils are willing to offer him a huge extension worth £300,000 a week.
But with Sanchez’s own salary gazumping that, the Spaniard feels he is in line for an even bigger deal.
De Gea’s current contract expires in 2019, though the club are able to trigger a one-year extension.
Mourinho drops Real Madrid confession
Journalist Duncan Castles has claimed Mourinho has ruled himself out of the Real Madrid job to close confidants.
“Mourinho has always told people around him he won’t go back to Real Madrid because of the negativity of the experience and how it ended there," Castles told the Transfer Window Podcast.
"He elected to terminate his contract and go back to English football, specifically to Chelsea at that time.
"What I’m told is if Jose Mourinho were to be out of work now, had he been out of work at this moment, were he to become sacked by Manchester United in the next weeks or months Florentino Perez would do everything in his power to bring him to the club.
"He tried to do it before when Rafa Benitez was sacked as manager inside six months of his appointment as Real Madrid manager.”

Jones plan
Manchester United are planning to listen to offers for Phil Jones.
That’s according to the Metro who say that, though they are primed to extend his current deal by a further year, the England international may be sold.
Mourinho reportedly privately rates him, comparing him to John Terry.
But Jones’ performances for United have, ultimately, left much to be desired.
