Manchester United have reportedly stepped up their
pursuit of former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho following Manchester City’s
capture of Pep Guardiola, according to the Daily Star.
Sources claim United executive vice-chairman Ed
Woodward has decided to let go of beleaguered manager Louis Van Gaal as the
club looks to remain relevant in a league where Guardiola is largely expected
to raise the bar.
“He knows Mourinho is the only man who can go
toe-to-toe with Guardiola and wil make his move for the former Real Madrid and
Chelsea boss,” the Daily Star reports.
“It delivers the mouthwatering prospect of the
bitter enemies and two most high-profile bosses in world football resuming
battle in the Premier League.
“Mourinho has made it clear he wants to take
charge of United and will jump at the chance of going up against Guardiola
again,” Daily Star further stated
Mourinho and Guardiola are two of the
super-coaches in the game and had the world spellbound with their intense
rivalry while at Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, with
tensions boiling over on a number of occasions.
Guardiola leads their head-to-head 8-3, with five
draws between them in 16 clashes.
