PSG is trying to steal José Mourinho from Manchester United

José Mourinho has been in a weird kind of limbo for months. He’s presumably the next Manchester United manager, but nothing has been finalized yet. Since he’s technically still without a job for next season, Paris Saint-Germain have reached out, hoping their superstar roster, big money and the prospect of Paris living can attract the Portuguese legend.

Clearly, big parts of the Manchester United front office don’t want him to get away. They’ve made sure word has found its way to Miguel Delaney that United is still Mourinho’s first choice. But at some point, they’re going to have to hire him or risk losing him to one of the richest clubs in Europe.

Since he scored two goals in a big win, we’re sure Dele Alli won’t mind us making fun of him for this awful miss. (r/soccer)
