“He has formed a close working relationship with United’s vice chairman Ed Woodward,” claims the report amid talk Mourinho will have £200million spend this summer.

After the Europa League win over Ajax this week Mourinho handed the summer transfer baton to Woodward as he left for his summer holidays.

“Ed Woodward knows since March who I want, what I want how much I want.

“He knows everything since March. Now it is for him to work, he can have his holiday in August. In August I am working,” said Mourinho yesterday at the Monaco GP.

The tabloid have been banging the Mourinho contract extension drum since February, while as early as December 2016 the Guardian suggested a new deal could be offered  to Mourinho.
