Jose Mourinho expects to be Manchester United manager within six months

Jose Mourinho believes the Manchester United job will be his within six months. That is according to the Sun, who report the Special One has asked his usual backroom staff about the possibility of joining him at Old Trafford.

Improved performances against Chelsea and Swansea City appeared to have bought Louis van Gaal more time. However, a lacklustre display against Sheffield United, and a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United - which made it one win in eight Premier League matches - has piled the pressure back on the Dutchman.
The Red Devils are five points behind fourth place Tottenham Hotspur and face a crucial derby with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Anything less than a victory would leave Van Gaal in a very precarious position.
