A deal has been agreed for Jose Mourinho to become Manchester United’s new manager, after three days of talks.
Negotiations between Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes and senior United officials have concluded, although no contract has been signed.
An official announcement from the club is expected on Friday.
The Portuguese will replace Dutchman Louis van Gaal, who was sacked on Monday, two days after United won the FA Cup.
Discussions, which started on Tuesday and were delayed by negotiations over Mourinho’s image rights, finally finished on Thursday.
