Jose Mourinho has signed a new contract at Manchester United which runs until 2020 with the option of an additional year.

The Portuguese this month branded reports he was unhappy at Old Trafford and was seeking an exit “garbage”. The 54-year-old led the Red Devils to glory in the EFL Cup and the Europa League.

Speaking of the new contract, Jose Mourinho said:

“I am really honoured and proud to be Manchester United manager. I would like to say a big thank you to the owners and to Mr Woodward for the recognition of my hard work and dedication. I am delighted they feel and trust that I am the right manager for this great club for the foreseeable future.

“We have set very high standards – winning three trophies in one season – but those are the standards I expect my teams to aim for. We are creating the conditions for a brilliant and successful future for Manchester United.

“My thanks, of course, go to my staff and to my players; without their empathy and friendship, this wouldn’t be possible. I love my players and it is a pleasure to know that we are going to be together for at least the next three years.

“And I cannot finish without thanking the fans for their support and for making me feel at home so quickly. I repeat, to be Manchester United manager is an honour every day and I am really happy.”
