Itinerant Magician. Could Man United be the next stop for Jose Mourinho? United chief believed to have reached out to see if Mourinhowill take over before season end
Manchester United have made a desperate SOS call to Jose Mourinho - with Louis van Gaal on the brink of the sack.
Struggling United's
executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is believed to have contacted
Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes on Friday morning to see if the former
Chelsea boss is willing to take over from Van Gaal before the end of the
season.
And Mourinho said on Friday: "I don't search for clubs, clubs search for me."
He was linked with a return to Inter Milan this week but soothed any United concerns by saying: "Let me make it clear...I will not be Inter manager next season."
Woodward
and United's owners the Glazer family were prepared to leave Van Gaal
in charge until the end of the season, when he would be told to make way
for Mourinho.

A pensive Van Gaal after United's shock defeat at Midtjylland, yesterday.
But United's shock Europa League loss to Danish side FC Midtjylland,
on the back of defeat at relegation-threatened Sunderland, has piled
fresh pressure on Van Gaal.
Should United lose to League One
Shrewsbury in the FA Cup on Monday, exit the Europa League and be cast
further adrift in the race for a top-four place when they host Arsenal
the following Sunday, Van Gaal's position will be untenable.
Against
that backdrop, there is a growing sense Van Gaal could go before the
end of the campaign, with Mourinho coming in to salvage a season that is
on the brink of collapse.
