Revealed: Jose Mourinho Would Love Second Chance at Man Utd

Ex-Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho would reportedly love a second chance and would even “walk” to Old Trafford to replace Erik ten Hag.

The Portuguese manager, who was fired from United in December 2018, has reportedly stated his wish to lead the team once more, according to Manchester Evening News. Mourinho is said to get along well with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s co-owner, but that may not be enough to get him a new position after he left AS Roma earlier in January.

Ten Hag’s status at United has been called into question following the team’s humbling 4-0 loss against Crystal Palace, which marked their 13th Premier League loss of the year. United’s problems were made worse by the loss; they are now ninth in the Premier League standings and could miss out on the top seven for the first time since 1990.

Ten Hag may be a major trade partner for Thomas Tuchel, who is expected to leave the Allianz Arena at the end of the season, since it has been claimed that Bayern Munich is interested in the Dutchman. The Bavarian behemoths, who lost out on Xabi Alonso and Ralf Rangnick, are also in negotiations with Julen Loepetgui.

Ten Hag’s future is still unclear after making it to the FA Cup final, especially in light of the team’s early eliminations from the League Cup and European competitions. Ten Hag is expected to be fired by INEOS’ sporting management if they are unable to play in Europe against Newcastle United at the end of the season. His next task is a Premier League match on Sunday at Old Trafford against a fast-moving Arsenal team.
