Manchester United to Announce New Deal for Jose Mourinho

Manchester United and club manager Jose Mourinho are almost near to finally reaching a new contract.

There are several reports that say negotiations have further progressed and it is only just a matter of time before Mourinho commits to staying at Old Trafford.

The 54-year-old Portuguese joined the club and took over as the manager of at Old Trafford on May 27, 2016. Mourinho won the EFL Cup and Europa League in his first season in charge (the best betting odds are available on 12BET).

Mourinho’s apparent unease over transfer budget and his refusal to move out of the hotel he stays in led to speculation over his future.

However, the United boss simply dismissed reports and described news about his future as a ‘garbage’ during a pre-match conference held earlier this month of January.

Since then, it has been relatively obvious that the Red Devils are very much willing to shell out huge wage to attract Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez to the club, despite the fact that until today, no agreement has been made (Sign Up on 12BET for more football scoops).

Meanwhile, other than Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby, who spent nearly 27 and 24 years in charge respectively, United’s longest serving post-war manager is Ron Atkinson, who was manager for five years and five months to October 1986.
