Portuguese coach’s camp were worried about rumours of approach for Laurent Blanc
JOSE MOURINHO has been assured in the last 48 hours that he will be Manchester United’s new boss.
His camp were worried about United boardroom support for Laurent Blanc as revealed by SunSport.
But Mourinho was told he is still the man the major decision makers at Old Trafford want.
Negotiations have been at an advanced stage this week and are almost over the line.
SunSport revealed back in December that United had made contact with Mourinho’s camp within days of him being sacked by Chelsea.
He was told then he was the man they wanted and not to take another job.
Since then United have drawn up a contract worth £60million over three years which will make Mourinho the highest paid manager in history.
United have looked at Maurico Pochettino at Spurs and Paris Saint-Germain boss Blanc, while some inside the club wanted Ryan Giggs promoted.
But Mourinho has always been the name that has come out on top with the men who will make the final decision.
That has been made clear to Mourinho this week to clear up any doubts he might have.
United are aware that he will not be short of offers and this would be their last chance to land him.
Mourinho did believe he would get the job when Sir Alex Ferguson left and was stunned when David Moyes was appointed.
He returned to Stamford Bridge where he won the title with Chelsea while in the meantime United went from Champions to seventh place.
Moyes was sacked after ten months and Louis van Gaal appointed.
It has been a miserable two seasons under Van Gaal, even with an FA Cup Final to now look forward to.
The fans want him out and with a just a year left in his contract there are few signs of things improving under the Dutchman.
