According to the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho has said privately that he would “walk” to Old Trafford in order to take on the job again…
The two-time Champions League winner is a friend of United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe but Mourinho is not expecting an approach from his former club.
Erik ten Hag’s position as manager has come into question following a disappointing 2023/24 season, with the Red Devils most recently losing 4-0 away to Crystal Palace on Monday night.
United were managed by Mourinho between 2016 and 2018, and the Manchester Evening News report he would ‘love’ to return to Old Trafford, with his camp even suggesting he would walk back to the city if it meant returning to the club.
However, it is understood that the club has no plans or desire to reappoint the Portuguese, and Mourinho is not expecting an approach from his former club.
Mourinho was appointed as Man United manager in May 2016, replacing Louis van Gaal. During his time at the club, he won the League Cup and the Europa League, and led the club to a second-placed finish in the league.
In a recent interview, the Champions League-winning coach said there are still “a couple of players” at United who he wanted to sell during his time in charge.
