Mourinho ‘love letter’ to Manchester United denied
Jose Mourinho's agent, Jorge Mendes, has rubbished reports that his client wrote to the Manchester United hierarchy outlining why the former Chelsea boss is the perfect man to be the club's manager.

It is understood Mourinho has a long-held ambition to manage the Red Devils, where current boss Louis van Gaal is under increasing scrutiny.

And the Independent on Sunday reported that the 'Special One' penned a six-page letter to the United board, outlining how he is willing to adapt his principles to those more traditional with the club, as well as explain what he would do with the current squad.

Nobody at Old Trafford chose to comment on the story, which Mendes strenuously denied.

"It does not occur to anyone that a coach like Jose Mourinho can write letters to clubs offering their services," Mendes wrote on web.

"It is absolutely ridiculous and totally absurd."

Pressure is mounting on current incumbent Van Gaal following United's 1-0 defeat againt Southampton on Saturday.

Supporters at Old Trafford booed their side off at both half-time and full-time, angry at yet another uninspiring display.

The report in the Independent suggests the Dutchman is unlikely to be sacked any time soon, although it is expected he will depart at the end of the season, which could pave the way for Mourinho's arrival.
