A three-time Premier League winner during two spells in charge of Chelsea, Mourinho was appointed at Man Utd in May 2016.

The 55-year-old won the UEFA Europa League and the League Cup in his first season in charge, ensuring the Red Devils qualified for the UEFA Champions League despite finishing sixth.

In 2017/18 United finished runners-up in the Premier League, 19 points behind winners Manchester City.

This term, although United qualified for the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, they find themselves lying in sixth place in the Premier League table, on 26 points after 17 matches.
