Jose Mourinho to Manchester United is a "done deal", says former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp
Jose Mourinho's move to Manchester United is a 'done deal', according to former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.
The Portuguese has been widely tipped to succeed Louis van Gaal in the summer, and the ex-Portsmouth manager has tipped it to happen.
Pressure on the Dutchman increased further after the Red Devils' slumped to a 2-1 defeat at lowly Sunderland on Saturday, leaving their top-four hopes hanging by a thread.
Van Gaal looks likely to remain in his post until the end of the season, but Redknapp has hinted Mourinho will then take over the hotseat.
He told US radio station Sirius XM: "It hasn't worked out at all for Louis van Gaal at Manchester United. It's been a disaster for him. No doubt about that.
"From the people I know who are in the know, it seems Jose Mourinho to United is a done deal."
Van Gaal will take United to Denmark for the first leg of a last-32 Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland on Thursday.
