Man Utd offers Mourinho another 5 years
The Old Trafford team plans to announce the new contract within 10 days.
Jose Mourinho's future at Man Utd was questioned when the team was left far behind by city rivals Man City in the Premier League table. The poor performance of the most traditional team in the Premier League was clearly shown by a series of four draws at the end of 2017.
However, things changed at the beginning of 2018. Man Utd won three consecutive matches, and just reduced the gap with Man City to 12 points. The "Red Devils" leadership decided to reward Mourinho with a new contract, with a term of 5 years, with a weekly salary of 345,000 dollars, according toThe Sun.

Things have improved since the beginning of the new year. Man Utd is back on the winning track. They are also said to be preparing to welcome the transfer blockbuster Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to help the "Red Devils" win a major title in the 2017-2018 season.
