Jose Mourinho ready to sign mega new £65million five-year Man Utd contract
MANCHESTER UNITED want to tie down Jose Mourinho to a new £65million five-year deal.

Mourinho, 54, is the best-paid manager in world football alongside his
Manchester City counterpart
Pep Guardiola, with both earning £250,000 a week.
This basic wage will stay about the same but the Portuguese’s incentive package for trophies and league positions is set to rocket.
The final details are still to be agreed. Mourinho initially signed a three-year deal in the summer of 2016.
Despite the
United board being convinced they had the right man, both sides were happy with the length of that contract to see how everything progressed.

But United chiefs have been hugely impressed with the way Mourinho has turned the club around in less than a year-and-a-half.

And he also claimed two major honours in his first season, the EFL Cup and Europa League.
