JOSE MOURINHO is reportedly eyeing up a sensational return to Manchester United.
The Potuguese boss has been without a club since he was sacked by Serie A outfit Roma earlier this month.
EPAMourinho, 61, has enjoyed a remarkable career in management which has seen him win 26 major trophies.
He has managed the likes of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Tottenham.
He also took charge of Manchester United between 2016 and 2018 as he replaced Louis van Gaal.
During his second season at Old Trafford, he guided the Red Devils to a runners-up spot in the Premier League – which he has called one of the best achievements in his career.
Now the Daily Mail have claimed that Mourinho is keen on returning to Man United as he has “unfinished business”.
The report adds that Mourinho would be excited to work with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos and it is his “mission to go back”.
The new investor has taken over the footballing operations of the club and will work closely with the manager.
It is very unlikely that a deal would happen with bookies currently rating him at 33/1 to replace Erik ten Hag in the dugout.

The Dutchman has come under pressure in recent months as the club has struggled to break into the top four and were dumped out of the Champions League and Carabao Cup.
Mourinho won the Europa League and Carabao Cup in his first season in charge of the Red Devils.
He had been at Roma since 2021 and led the club to its first trophy in 11 years by winning the Conference League in 2022.
Since being axed, Mourinho has already been linked to a host of jobs.
Barcelona are one club that have been tipped with a move as Xavi is set to leave at the end of the season.
It has also been claimed that he has rejected an offer from Saudi outfit Al-Shabab.
Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf has insisted that Mourinho is keen on the Portugal national team role, but will wait until after the Euros to offer himself.
