Nervous Jose Mourinho seeking Man United assurances amid Louis van Gaal stay talk


1Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho


NERVOUS Jose Mourinho has instructed his agent Jorge Mendes to meet with Ed Woodward and seek firm guarantees about his chances of becoming the next Manchester United boss.

Mendes hopes to sit down with Woodward in the next few days for what could well prove to be a pivotal meeting.
With an increasingly bullish Louis van Gaal adamant that he is fully involved in transfer planning for the summer and settling in for the long-haul, Mourinho is seeking clarity and reassurance that there will be a vacant position in June.

Mourinho confirmed that he is ready to take up a new position in July and this was widely interpreted as the beginning of a new era at Old Trafford.

He believes he has a gentleman’s agreement to take over from Van Gaal but reports in Holland over the weekend, and again yesterday, suggest that Woodward and the United board have decided to leave Van Gaal in place despite widespread supporter unease at the prospect.

Recent polls in Manchester backed Mourinho to take over from Van Gaal rather than club favourite Ryan Giggs.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
