Manchester United has signed Jose Mourinho on a 3-year deal after the club sacked Louis Van Gaal two years into a three-year contract despite winning their first silverware since the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Jose Mourinho is the Manchester United manager.

It should be big news. It’s not. I can’t stop thinking about Tinie Tempeh singing about it being written in the stars a million miles away. Mourinho was always going to become the manager of Manchester United. Everything that the man has done in football was part of a great design that would ultimately lead him to the Theatre of Dreams stage.

After 26-years with one boss, United have now had three in four years, after Mourinho replaced his former mentor Louis Van Gaal in the aftermath of the Dutchman’s FA Cup Final triumph against Crystal Palace.
