Jose Mourinho looks set to become Manchester United's next manager
Jose Mourinho reportedly has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ in place to become Manchester United’s next manager.
The Portuguese tactician was given a rapturous reception when he returned to the San Siro yesterday to watch Inter Milan beat Sampdoria.
Mourinho is widely fancied to replace Louis van Gaal following a turbulent campaign for the Dutchman.
And according to the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho thinks he will succeed Van Gaal even though he is yet to sign a pre-contract deal.
Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes, is also believed to have made it clear his client would prefer to take the United job before the season finishes.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed Newcastle once tried to sign him.
The Borussia Dortmund hitman was tracked by the Gunners in January, while Manchester United have made him their top summer target.

It is thought United would have to spend upwards of £60million to clinch a deal, but Aubameyang has revealed how close Newcastle came to capturing him when he was at St Etienne.
“I received an offer from Qatar of €10m per year. If I accepted, my family would be set up for life," he told French newspaper L'Equipe.
“We chose to stay at Saint Etienne, where I got €70k per month, knowing that, given my qualities, I could earn money tomorrow.”
Wayne Rooney will reportedly leave Manchester United if the club no longer want him.
