Old Trafford chiefs still confident they can get their man
Manchester United bosses are still confident that they can employ Jose Mourinho this summer after he snubbed the approaches of PSG.
Mourinho chose not to have talks with PSG despite their approach, with the former Chelsea manager still hopeful that he could be appointed at Old Trafford.
PSG contacted Mourinho’s agent, Jorge Mendes, earlier this month to discuss the Portuguese’s future and offer him the chance to replace current head coach Laurent Blanc following their Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester City.
The speculation over Mourinho’s future comes at a time when Van Gaal is fighting for his future, with a top four Premier League finish and an FA Cup success still possible. United face Everton in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend knowing they can end their 12-year Cup drought with victory, while last night’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace leaves them just one point off fourth-placed Arsenal – who play their game in hand against West Brom tonight.
