Confirmed: Mourinho doesn't want to join United now

The former Chelsea boss is  not wiling to take up the United job, mid season the Sun is reporting.

Mourinho is the fans chosen one to replace Van Gaal but the deal seem to be lingering forever.

He is reported to have agreed a deal in principle with the club, while he is also reported to have secured an apartment in Manchester.

Mourinho is reportedly not open to the idea of replacing his mentor half way the season.

Van Gaal and United are almost certain to part ways at the end of this season.
