English soccer's biggest club seems to have secured the services of the sport's most colorful manager after Jose Mourinho agreed to personal terms with Manchester United on Tuesday, according to Sky TV reports.
After a trophy-laden career with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, Mourinho is set to replace Dutchman Louis Van Gaal, who was fired on Monday, with a goal to bring back the glory days the club once took for granted under former manager Alex Ferguson.
The 53-year-old, who was fired by Chelsea in December seven months after winning his third Premier League title at the London club over two spells, had been constantly linked with the United job as Van Gaal struggled to make an impression at Old Trafford.
