Jose Mourinho has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Manchester United in the summer, according to a report in El Pais.

Following Thursday s Europa League elimination by arch foes Liverpool, Manchester United s supporters find themselves in the grip of an unfolding nightmare as Sunday s derby trip to Manchester City approaches. “We are now four points behind City, I think, so you have to win”.
United is four points behind fourth-place Manchester City with nine games left this season.
These days it seems that every United game will decide Van Gaal’s future as manager, but perhaps today’s clash could actually influence his position at Old Trafford.
Here’s a predicted XI for what could be a season-defining game for both clubs in the Premier League.

City’s 1-0 loss to Manchester United on Sunday, courtesy of another goal by teenager Marcus Rashford, didn’t only end its realistic chances of winning the Premier League.

“Why do I have to discuss that?”
Manchester City, meanwhile, make four changes to the side that drew 0-0 at home to Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday. I think Vincent has an injury in the other leg, not the same calf as last time. My prediction of 2-1 is available at odds of 15/2 while I also like the look of Aguero to open the scoring at 16/5. The England striker became the top scorer in the Premier League by moving onto 21 goals thanks to strikes after 44 seconds and then in the 16th minute.
“We have to recover within two days – that is almost not possible and especially not when you play a game against Liverpool like we have done”.

He said: “In football when you have a mathematical chance you can not think you can not do it”.
