Manchester United will appoint Jose Mourinho as their new manager.<\/p>\n

Mourinho has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in December.<\/p>\n

With United failing to qualify for the Champions League under Louis van Gaal, the Old Trafford hierarchy are thought to have decided a change is required.<\/p>\n

It is understood a deal with Mourinho was agreed in principle before Saturday’s FA Cup final victory against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

The club plan to announce his arrival early next week after telling Van Gaal his reign has come to an end.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman still has one season remaining on his three-year deal, but despite spending \u00a3250m on new players, his tenure has disappointed many fans, the club finishing fourth and then fifth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Van Gaal’s grip on his job has seemed increasingly fragile this season, with Mourinho known to covet the task of masterminding a revival at United three years after legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down.<\/p>\n
