Jose: I want Mour

UNITED boss Jose Mourinho has demanded success from his players after extending his contract at Old Trafford.

The Reds manager has put pen to paper on a deal until 2020, with the option for a further year.

The 54-year-old replaced Louis van Gaal as United’s boss in 2016 and last season won the EFL Cup, Europa League and Community Shield. And Mourinho insists that is just the start.

“We have set very high standards winning three trophies in one season but those are the standards I expect my teams to aim for,” said Mourinho, whose side visit Yeovil in the FA Cup tonight.

“We are creating the conditions for a brilliant and successful future for Manchester United.”

The former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss penned a three-year deal with the option for a further 12 months upon taking the job at Old Trafford, and Mourinho recently rubbished a story that claimed there were fears he could resign at the end of this campaign.

Should he remain at United for the duration of his new contract, his stay would be the longest of his managerial career.

“I am really honoured and proud to be Manchester United manager,” he added.

“I am delighted they feel and trust that I am the right manager for this great club for the foreseeable future.”

United’s executive vice-chairman Woodward said: “Jose’s work rate and professionalism are exceptional and he has embraced the club’s desire to promote top-quality young players.”
