|||London - Jose Mourinho is in talks with Paris Saint-Germain and could move to the French champions unless Manchester United move quickly.
Mourinho is the prime contender to replace Louis van Gaal should United sack the Dutchman after Saturday’s FA Cup final.
But Mourinho, 53, wants a deal agreed by next week and unless United make their move quickly they could miss out on the Portuguese. The news pushes United chairman Ed Woodward into a corner regarding the club’s interest in the out-of-work boss.
The former Chelsea manager views replacing the current PSG boss, Laurent Blanc, as an excellent opportunity, particularly with the vast transfer budget at his disposal. And the fact Mourinho is ready to take the reins in the French capital could force Woodward’s hand.
PSG’s move for Mourinho is likely to accelerate United’s decision to either persist with Van Gaal or follow through with initial plans to bring Mourinho to Old Trafford.
