The Portuguese coach was sacked by Chelsea on Thursday following their
disastrous start to the Premier League season and his representatives have
reportedly already reached out to the Red Devils.
United are said to be less sure of Louis van Gaal's future at Old Trafford on the
back of five matches without a win and amid frequent criticism of the
Dutchman's style of play.
Van Gaal's contract runs until the summer of 2017 but United have made
contact with Pep Guardiola's camp ahead of his expected departure from Bayern
Munich at the end of the season.
Guardiola is likely to join rivals Manchester City, however, and Mourinho could
present an alternative having duelled with the ex-Barcelona boss in La Liga as
coach of Real Madrid.
ESPN report that Mourinho has already received concrete offers for next season
and his agent Jorge Mendes, who helped facilitate deals for Angel Di Maria and
Radamel Falcao at United, continues to assess his client's options.
