Jose Mourinho is expected to be approached
over extending his Manchester United contract in November, the mid-point of his existing deal, which ends in 2019.
Any new agreement will depend on the team’s performance this season and although the end of May will be the telling point, negotiations about the future are expected to start before Christmas to enable a smooth conclusion to any potential deal next summer.
Neither of Mourinho’s two predecessors in the job, Louis van Gaal and David Moyes, have lasted beyond two years at Old Trafford.
