Transfer News: Mourinho signs Man United deal, Chelsea target speaks out, Arsenal move
Jose Mourinho has signed a contract to replace Louis van Gaal at Manchester United in the summer, according to reports.
The
53-year-old has been heavily linked with the top job at Old Trafford since he
was sacked as manager of Chelsea in December.
Express
Sport
understands Mourinho is increasingly
confident about landing the United job - but the club's hierarchy
have not yet made a decision.
However,
reports from Portuguese newspaper Jornal de
Noticias now claim he has put pen to paper on a deal to become
United boss, which will see under-fire Van Gaal depart.
The
report adds Mourinho has been watching United matches in recent weeks to assess
the playing squad to determine what areas he needs to strengthen in the
transfer market.
And
they also state that they will give Mourinho full control of transfers and that
he may sign players from the Portuguese league, with Benfica midfielder Renato
Sanches and Braga's Rafa Silva being linked with moves.
Manchester
United and Chelsea have been put on alert after Paris Saint-Germain defender
Marquinhos refused to rule
out leaving the club.
The
21-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League with United and
Chelsea both being credited with interest.
Marquinhos
signed for PSG in a £25million move from Italian club Roma and is tied down to
the club until 2019, but he has refused to rule out a move.
"After
the end of the season, we will take the best decision for my future. We will
talk. For now, I can not do anything more," he told Goal.
"It's
almost time to decide what's best for me, make choices and take
decisions.
"I've
been at PSG for three years, I've progressed, but there comes a time when you
will want more than that."
