Man Utd uncovered: Jose Mourinho to copy Sir Alex Ferguson's blueprint in pursuit of glory
JOSE MOURINHO will copy Sir Alex Ferguson's blueprint and turn Manchester United back into entertainers as he seeks to win the title.
Jose Mourinho was last month confirmed as Louis van Gaal's successor at Manchester United
Mourinho wants United to play fast, attacking football in keeping with Ferguson's glittering tenure and the style which is inherent in the club's DNA.
The Portuguese manager has held a series of meetings with senior players to outline his plans for next season and will also complete a deal for Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan next week for £34million.
Mkhitaryan is represented by the same agent, Mino Raiola, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic who will also move to United on a free transfer.
Mourinho's first signing was Villarreal defender Eric Bailly in a £30m deal.
