Jose Mourinho has rejected offers from China and Italy as he waits to replace Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager.
The former Chelsea boss, who was sacked by the Blues in December, has reportedly been told by the Red Devils to turn down other clubs and wait for the position to become available at Old Trafford.
Mourinho was initially lined up to take Van Gaal’s place in the summer, though he could arrive sooner rather than later, according to The Sun.
