Mourinho is set to be handed as much as £300 million to alter the makeup of the United squad and reassert them as contenders for silverware, both domestically and in Europe.

Jose Mourinho will be at San Siro on Saturday to watch Inter Milan’s match with Sampdoria.
Speculations abound that Mourinho will replace current Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal in the summer following the Old Trafford giants’ disappointing 2015-2016 campaign where the team is now in danger of missing out next season’s Champions League competitions, as per Caught Offside.
But he’s looking for a club next season before he moves Stateside.
Though the Special One has stressed that he intends to stay in England, his ties with the San Siro club remains strong.
Though Manicini has ruled out any immediate threat to his job, coaches have been sacked on flimsier grounds.
He made no effort to disguise his admiration for the Portuguese manager ahead of Chelsea’s visit to Paris, saying: “I think everybody will miss Mourinho in the game”.
“A gift for the fans?”
Mourinho is going to be joined in the stands at the stadium by Brazilian legend Ronaldo and is likely to be the focus of lots of media attention on Saturday night.
For me, it is a move United have to make.
