José Mourinho has no intention of considering Paris Saint-Germain’s overtures until he discovers if Manchester United want him to replace Louis van Gaal as manager this summer.

Despite the club’s stellar domestic form – PSG were runaway winners of Ligue 1 once again this season – Al-Khelaifi is said to have grown increasingly frustrated with current manager Laurent Blanc’s failure to progress in Europe.
Blanc’s role as manager is under scrutiny following PSG’s exit from the Champions League to Manchester City.
“PSG is certainly a great club, which could possibly be interested in Mourinho, but I do not know if he will feel the same way”.
Blanc, who recently signed a contract extension until 2018, might have thought that his job would be safe.
According to Sky Sports, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, owner of PSG, contacted Jorge Mendes, Mourinho representative, following the recent elimination of the Parisian team in the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho will reunite with striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United next season, German newspaper Bild has claimed.
Further speculation has stated that the Red Devils are prepared to stick with Van Gaal for the remaining 12 months of his contract.
Mourinho led Chelsea to the Premier League and League Cup double last season, but was sacked in December after a awful run of results left the Blues languishing near the relegation zone.
If the reports are true, Mourinho could also be toying with PSG in the hope that they panic and make a move for him.
