Mourinho "would love" the chance to manage Manchester United, according to one of his confidants

Mourinho was let go by Chelsea yesterday after two years back at Stamford Bridge, and with pressure mounting on United boss Louis van Gaal, speculation has intensified that he could move to Old Trafford.

The 52-year-old was previously a contender for the United job when Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and reportedly cried when the role instead went to David Moyes.
