Here it is: The Mail on Sunday is back on the Jose Mourinho return story and says that he only 'snubbed Manchester City's millions because his dream is to manage Manchester United.'

According to the newspaper, Mourinho, under contract until 2012 at Inter Milan, 'rejected discreet overtures from Eastlands some weeks ago...But sources close to the Portuguese have indicated his Inter contract was only part of the reason for cold-shouldering City. They believe Mourinho's ambition is to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson and that, if he bides his time, the Old Trafford job will become conveniently available.'

Really? There's been absolutely no indication from Ferguson that he is considering retiring any time soon. But that's not stopping the Mail:

'But significantly, the Scot will be invited to make recommendations about his successor and has a lot of admiration for Mourinho, the only other manager to win the Premier League in the last five years.'

I would be the first to jump for joy if and when this happens....

JM has the "lan-si-ness", the people mgmt skills, technical & tactical knowledge, experience and the freshness that our beloved ManU needs to continue its dominance for the next 20 years...

Admittedly, SAF's ploys and strategies is rather passe and most EPL as well as CL managers who have watched his past games over and over again on DVD would be now know how to deal with ManU..... ala last year's CL when we lost to Barca through a newbie chiku manager.

Will pray to the God of Football that JM will take over and take care of our beloved MAN UTD..... ole ole ole
