Jose Mourinho, vocal about his desire to reclaim the helm at Manchester United, has indicated a willingness to go to great lengths to secure the position.
However, it appears the club has no intentions of reappointing the Portuguese manager. Mourinho, ousted by United in December 2018, has reportedly shared his ambitions with close confidants.
Despite maintaining a friendship with United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Mourinho does not foresee any outreach from his former club.
Under the current management of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United suffered their 13th defeat of the season in a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, setting a new Premier League era record.
Sitting in eighth place in the Premier League standings, United face the prospect of finishing outside the top seven for the first time since 1990. With 18 losses this season, it marks the highest tally of defeats for United in a single season since 1977-78.
United is gearing up to clash with Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25. However, Ten Hag's position remains uncertain amidst a disappointing season that saw United exit European competitions before Christmas and fail to defend their League Cup title.
The club has been contemplating potential replacements for the Dutchman, especially since Ratcliffe's acquisition of a 27.7% stake in February did not offer full support. Mourinho assumed the reins from Louis van Gaal in May 2016, securing victories in the League Cup and Europa League in his inaugural season.
Despite finishing as Premier League runners-up and reaching the FA Cup final in Mourinho's second season, he cited insufficient backing during the 2018 summer transfer window.
Mourinho's most recent managerial stint was at Roma, where he clinched the Europa Conference League title in 2022. Despite leading Roma to the Europa League final last season, they succumbed to Sevilla in a penalty shootout.
