The Premier League holders slumped to 16th place in the league table in December, prompting the Blues’ board to fire Mourinho for a second time in eight years. Mourinho has since been constantly linked to the Old Trafford hot-seat despite Van Gaal remaining in post until the end of the season, whereupon he led United to FA Cup glory with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. But an announcement is expected on Monday confirming the Dutchman’s sacking, with Mourinho likely to take his place within 24 hours.</blockquote>
