“Is Mourinho going to be the successor of Van Gaal”, this simple statement has kept the world of football in an exhilarating stage. Manchester United’s recent performance has not been at par and with each passing day the possibility of Van Gaal’s departure from Old Trafford is moving closer. Though the former Chelsea boss has also been linked with a return to Inter Milan, but the possibility of him being the “Red Devil” boss is looking more obvious in the current situation.
Further spark has been ignited into the situation last week when Mourinho declared in public about his plan to be back in a top managing position within a span of two weeks. But, Mourinho has also expressed his fun time out of football and said that absence from a tight schedule has given him more opportunity to think about his future.
Recently in Singapore, he said: "If I have to return tomorrow, I return tomorrow.
“I always feel that it is better to wait and not to rush. It is better to wait for the right moment and the right move. I think starting next season with a new club and project is probably the best for me.”
“I read so many different things. One day they say 'yes' and another day they say 'no'. One other day they say I'm going to China, another day they say I'm going back to Italy.”
“I go to Milan and people say I'm going back to Inter. I'm here and people probably say I'm going to (the) Singapore national team. Every day new things are coming but the reality is I have no job and I am happy not to have a job.”
Well, looking at the condition of Manchester United's performance we are not much sure of their chances in this season and the question of whether Van Gaal can really turn around things is highly in doubt but one's thing for sure that if the situation persists then Mourinho can be the potential replacement.
