“Jose is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here,” United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said in a statement.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the club forward.”

The Portuguese replaces Dutchman Louis van Gaal who was sacked two days after United won the FA Cup.

Fans of the Old Trafford outfit are keen to get the last three years, which saw former Everton Manager, David Moyes, and Van Gaal in charge.
