Manchester United consider offering Mourinho contract extension

Manchester United are open to José Mourinho extending his stay as manager beyond the three-year contract he signed in the summer. The club are delighted with the start the side have made and believe he is the man to bring a 21st league title to Old Trafford.

Mourinho, who replaced the sacked Louis van Gaal in July, is keen to remain at United beyond his current contract and it is understood the owners, the Glazer family, are also in favour.

While there is a recognition at the club Mourinho’s future is dependent on the team’s style of play as well as results, the manager has already impressed on and off the field. United are unbeaten in 10 games, winning seven, and the 2-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday was a third in succession in the Premier League, taking United to 30 points
