Jose Mourinho would reportedly love to manage Manchester United for a second time and has told confidants he would willingly 'walk' to Old Trafford to do so.
The Portuguese, 61, was in charge of United between the summer of 2016 and December 2018, winning the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his first season before an acrimonious departure.
Mourinho is a friend of United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and, according to the Manchester Evening News, would gladly accept the opportunity to return.
However, the club doesn't want to reappoint Mourinho, who isn't expecting an approach anytime soon. Mourinho left Roma - his second job post-United - back in January.
It comes as Erik ten Hag's future as United boss comes under even greater scrutiny following Monday night's abysmal 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
