Man United stunned as Arsenal plot sensational move for Jose Mourinho

ARSENAL are plotting a sensational move for Jose Mourinho, according to stunning claims in Spain.

INCOMING: Will Mourinho move to Arsenal?

The former Chelsea boss has been linked with a move to Manchester United with Louis van Gaal’s future in serious doubt.

Spanish newspaper El Pais yesterday even went as far as claiming Mourinho had signed a pre-contract agreement to become the new United boss.

But according to Fichajes, a Spanish news outlet specialising in gossip, the Gunners want Mourinho themselves.

It's claimed Arsenal are still in the hunt for Mourinho following United’s uncertainty.

The Gunners are reportedly tired of Arsene Wenger’s lack of silverware and see the Portuguese as the ideal replacement.

Wenger took charge at Arsenal in 1996 but has failed to win a Premier League title since the ’Invincibles’ season in 2004.

Mourinho recently revealed he’s keen to return to management this summer.

Speaking at an event in Singapore last month, he said: “I always feel that it's better to wait, not to rush, better to be calm, to wait for the right moment, the right move.

“I feel that starting the next season with a new club and project is probably the best thing for me.

“It's quite a funny career. I am the English champion, and I still have no job.

“I read so many different things. One day it says I go to China, another day it says I go to Italy, and people say I'm back to Inter Milan. I'm here – probably, you are saying I will go to the Singapore national team.”

Real Madrid and Inter Milan have been linked with shock swoops to bring the Special One back to the respective clubs.

But Fichajes say that only United or Arsenal have a chance of appointing him this summer.
