JOSE MOURINHO will be offered the Manchester United job if Louis van Gaal lead
Reports earlier today claimed the Portuguese has been assured he's United No.1 option if they decide to bin Van Gaal.
The Dutchman's job is on the line after the club missed out on a top four spot to rivals Manchester City.
Van Gaal could redeem himself by leading United to victory in Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace
Sky Sports claim the veteran coach is still well regarded by senior figures at Old Trafford.
There is no guarentee he'll be shown the door, even if United finish the campaign trophyless and out of the Champions League qualification spots
But if they do decide to act, the job will go to Mourinho.
The Portuguese is said to be up for the challenge of leading the club.
He was sacked by Chelsea in December and wants to stay in England - with the task of rebuilding United and putting them back on top of the pile an appealing prospect.
