Portuguese managerial maestro Jose Mourinho is reportedly eyeing a remarkable return to Manchester United, with aspirations of addressing what he considers “unfinished business.” The 61-year-old, who has an illustrious managerial career with 26 major trophies, was recently sacked by Serie A club Roma. Mourinho previously managed Manchester United between 2016 and 2018, guiding the team to a Premier League runners-up spot during his second season.

According to the Daily Mail, Mourinho is keen on returning to Old Trafford, particularly excited about working with new investors Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos. The report suggests that Mourinho sees it as his “mission to go back.” While bookies rate the likelihood of such a return at 33/1, Mourinho’s desire to address unfinished business and contribute to the club’s future success is evident.

Having recently won the Europa League and Carabao Cup in his first season with Manchester United, Mourinho’s potential return sparks intrigue amid recent challenges faced by the current manager, Erik ten Hag. Mourinho’s experience and track record make him a notable figure in the football managerial landscape, with various clubs, including Barcelona, and roles like managing the Portugal national team, linked to him.
