Peter Kenyon was the man that brought Jose Mourinho to England.
“When I appointed him, I was looking to bring a winning mentality to what was already a good team”. And more than that, I need the players and supporters to feel that I say that, but I think we can really. “I think also they know what I can give them”.
Press Association Sport understands United’s most decorated player has an offer to stay on, although it is unclear what that role would be.
“From the very start of his career in coaching he has had this incredible self-belief, great knowledge and incredible attention to detail, but also this ability to think outside the box in a way some managers don’t”.

Van Gaal did win the FA Cup – the first time United had lifted the trophy in 12 years – but due to widespread condemnation of the style of football his team played it was not enough to save him.
Mourinho, 53, is a serial victor, having notably won eight league titles and two Uefa Champions Leagues, but Chelsea’s spectacular collapse over the first half of the recently concluded season resurrected old doubts about his ability to deliver long-term success.
Mourinho’s immediate task is to revive United’s ailing fortunes, having finished fifth in the Premier League last term and missed out on Champions League qualification.
