Jose Mourinho to Manchester United: Former Chelsea boss 'agrees' return to management
JOSE MOURINHO'S return to management is all set for July, according to reports.
Jose Mourinho has reportedly agreed his return to management
Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December and is expected to take over at Manchester United in the summer.

Van Gaal's United tenure has been streaked with inconsistency and disgruntlement from the sidelines.
They looked to have turned a corner with four wins on the bounce between February 22 and March 2.

After tonight's Europa League clash with Liverpool they face West Ham in the FA Cup, Liverpool in the return leg and then the Manchester derby.
They are currently sixth with nine games to go, three points behind City having played a game more.
