They approached him. It got reported. Kind of how newspapers work..
BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

So when he tells them thanks but no thanks do people put 2&2 together?
They'd still balls it up and come up with Giggs signing a 5 year deal.
Reading on GOT ,A lot of Evertonians do appear to think they have a chance of signing Mourinho.
Everyone would have laughed at the idea of Rafa joining Newcastle a month before he did, with that in mind, who could blame Everton for chancing their arm?
I bet a lot of clubs regularly talk with players that would be considered beyond them. Like us and Neymar....

They have a chance, largely because Mourinho doesn't have many options, he wants to come back to England and we have a history of dithering.
If Everton sign Mourinho while we stick with LVG, I'm done.
Come on, he is not going to Everton.
Hopefully Mourinho is United-ing them, and using them to get United to make a better (or an actual real) offer. Like everyone else does to us.
Would be hilarious if that happened
Doubt it will though

New investment, stadium, ambition, only club in his beloved England that wants him...
Perhaps it wasn't just David Moyes dithering that Summer.
We'll see how this turns out. If United aren't interested,I wouldn't begrudge Jose looking elsewhere.
Castles? Is that the bald guy who hates us?
Investment aside, Everton is a serious step down for him (we don't even know whether the level of investment promised is akin to the likes of Chelsea/City do we?). He'd probably rather wait a year for the United seat to be completely vacant (or maybe even other clubs to sack their managers aside from United) before taking that Everton job.
Would love to see the fekker at Everton - like that we can see if the twat really is better than Moyes without having to put up with his slimy persona here first
Yeah me too! Then we can happily continue our boring, boring slide into mid table obscurity.
You can just imagine SAF on the phone "Listen lad in order to get the job here you really have to have experience at Everton or the Holland national team ! Heh heh heh!"
No. Not necessarily. In England, the papers can make up headlines from thin air.
For example: LVG to be sacked in January. Then February. Then err....not sure.
LVG made a song and dance over this. Remember, "Enjoy your wine and mince pies?"

He's leading their next manager poll with 70%. Frank Da Boar is next with 15 and Koeman 7%
If I was Jose, I defintely wpuldbt join Everton at this stage of my career. He's already proven himself at that level.
However,I wouldn't wait another year for the United job. Because then he won't be going against the unpopular Dutch manager on his last legs,but 963 game Ryan Giggs backed by SAF and SBC. He can't win.
The United job is a great one,but it's not the only job.
Since when does Duncan Castles warrant a title change? Negative = true
I'm retiring from life if it happens
Everton? The Chilean second tier team?
Are the other 30% idiots? Who's second on the poll?
Well it's clear he badly wants to stay in England and he badly wants to get back into management asap. What other big English clubs are likely to sack their manager in the near future?
It's not like he's bound for life to Everton if he takes the job, it's probably very preferable to sitting around watching Jeremy Kyle.
De Boar is a good manager.
de Boer ?
right
Thanks
No it's not. Many newspapers work by plucking a story from their arsehole and printing it.
If Mourinho goes to Everton and we keep LVG I'm going to drink 3 litres of summer berry Ribena and take a massive piss through Ed Woodward's letterbox.
Everton get Mourinho or De Boer and we're stuck with The Bore
Nothing is happening to our managerial situation until after the cup final. Stop torturing yourselves.
If Van Gaal is still here next season, and we let Mourinho go to Everton; I will truly be hoping for terrible things to happen to those in charge. But I can't possibly see Mourinho pitching up at a middle tier club like Everton, regardless of whether we want him or not. However, I can easily see our inept board choosing to keep Vangle.
Some of them I'm sure.Including the ones about Mou coming here ?
Where did you steal that one from, pretty good
Made it up on the spot. I'm at my wittiest when hungover it seems
Would like to see him at Everton, if he does well there and behaves himself see about coming here in a few years.
