Jorge Mendes has spoken as speculation about Mourinho’s future persists off the back of United’s home defeat against Norwich on Saturday; their sixth consecutive game without a win in all competitions.

United boss Van Gaal is under heavy pressure at Old Trafford after a sequence of poor results and an even longer spell of uninspiring performances.

The Portuguese is a highly successful manager who has won two Champions League in his career and league titles at every club he managed, but is he the right one for Manchester United?

The statement from Mendes comes at the end of day that many suspected would end with Louis van Gaal being dismissed as Manchester United manager.

Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea last week, was earning £10m-a-year.

Although many critics have been quick to point the finger at Van Gaal, his compatriot Van der Gouw believes United have become a victim of the narrowing gap between the biggest and smallest clubs in the Premier League.

“There is nothing”, Mendes said.

If the owners believe that a managerial change is the best solution to this, then they must replace Van Gaal with an immediate difference-maker: this is where Jose Mourinho comes in.

The pressure on executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to act is building fast as United’s season threatens to unravel.

Similarly, van Gaal is reported to have lost the backing of several senior United stars because of his autocratic manner.

Mourinho, whose name was chanted by United fans at Old Trafford during the loss to Norwich, has already confirmed that he has no desire to take a break after leaving Stamford Bridge last Thursday.

“The reason being; if I think of Man United in the past 50 or 60 years of what they’re about, winning trophies, Jose massively ticks that box”.
