The Red Devils won the FA Cup under Louis van Gaal this season but missed out on a place in the Champions League, contributing to the Dutchman losing his job.
Chelsea refused to comment on the matter, but, given they retained the trademark when Mourinho managed Inter Milan and then Real Madrid, it never looked a serious barrier to the deal.
It is believed that the Portuguese agreed terms on a three-year deal with United worth a staggering £15million a year.
He is reportedly mulling a bid for world-class striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to media reports, after the Swedish star played his final game for French champions Paris Saint-Germain last week.
No one knows if he will or can transform the Man United, but we all Chelsea Fans have our fingers cross. If you want action, you bring Mourinho.
“I have heard many say the “Mourinho WAY” is not the Manchester United style of playing football”. In a funk, United hopes Mourinho is the man to bring the team back to the top. But does it suggest a willingness from Ronaldo to follow his former manager and join his ranks at Manchester?
Manchester United are thought to be in the lead right now, with interest also coming from multiple teams in several countries.
“I think Louis van Gaal and I have a very special relationship – he moved me into the centre of the midfield at Bayern, and I’ve got a lot to thank him for”, he added.
The Daily Mail has said United are one of a host of clubs looking to see if Leicester City’s French global midfielder N’Golo Kante would leave the Premier League champions.

It was also put to Ibrahimovic there have been questions over whether he would be suited to the Premier League, given his age. What else do you need to know, tell me?’
