Reports emerged on Thursday May 26 that Manchester United have appointed Jose Mourinho as manager of the club after months of speculation. Manchester United paid the Portuguese tactician a staggering £4million to reject the advances of any club looking to his services. Mourinho is expected to be given £200m to spend on new players. And Willian, who Mourinho signed from Anzhi Makhachkala for £30million, has sensationally left the door ajar for a potential reunion with his former boss. “Winning the Premier League with him was one of the highlights of my career. I was sad things didn’t work out after that,” he said. After several months of speculation, Manchester United finally confirmed the appointment of the tactician. The club in a statement said: “Jose Mourinho will take over as manager of Manchester United from the 2016/17 season, signing a three-year contract with an option to stay at the club until at least 2020.” GET for FREE: Get the latest sports news on Naij Sports The 53-year-old has managed at the top level of European football for over a decade and in that time has won league titles and cups in four countries (Portugal, England, Italy and Spain), as well as winning the UEFA Champions League twice – in 2004 with FC Porto and in 2010 with Inter Milan.
