Mourinho

Jose Mourinho remains open to a return to Manchester United for a second stint, as he feels he has “unfinished business” at the Premier League club.

According to the Daily Mail, Mourinho wants to work with United’s new co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.

Ratcliffe and INEOS have purchased a 25% stake in the Red Devils and will take charge of football operations at Old Trafford.

While Mourinho is eager to return to United, the club is not searching for a new manager at this point.

Current manager Erik ten Hag is under contract until 2025.
