There’s Mour to come

JOSE MOURINHO is plotting a long-term future at Manchester United and wants to stay beyond his current deal.

The United boss (left), whose future has been clouded in uncertainty this season, is under contract at Old Trafford until 2020.

But as he prepared to lock horns with Juventus in tonight’s Champions League clash, Mourinho maintained he’s in it for the long haul.

Responding to questions about a move back to Spain and possible second stint at Real Madrid, Mourinho said: “No. My future is here.

“I have a contract and I am happy to stay here after the very last day of my contract and longer than that. All I am thinking about at the moment is Manchester United.”

Mourinho believes there are signs that United are beginning to click into gear.

After a stunning comeback to beat Newcastle 3-2, United served notice of a return to form in their 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Saturday.

Mourinho said: “Everyone was happy with the performance against Chelsea, but nobody happy with the result.

“What I’ve told the players is to get the best out of the feelings. But the way we can play and the way we want to play was shown in the last two matches, so we will try to play that way again.”

Meanwhile, Mourinho has escaped punishment but has been “reminded of his responsibilities” by the FA for his part in the touchline bust up at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea coach Marco Ianni was yesterday charged with improper conduct for taunting Mourinho in front of his team’s bench when celebrating Ross Barkley’s 96th-minute equaliser.

Ianni has until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.
