Mourinho offered opportunity to leave Manchester United

Jose Mourinho 'faces sack at Manchester United'

Inter Milan are preparing to offer under-fire Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho an escape route from his Old Trafford misery.

Inter are considering parting company Luciano Spalletti next summer after they crashed out of the Champions League and with Juventus racing 14 points clear of them in the Serie A table.

Mourinho is one of the name’s Inter are considering along with former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte should they not extend Spalletti’s contract which runs out at the end of the season.

The self-styled special one arrived at United in 2016 to replace Louis van Gaal in 2016 and he won the Europa League and League Cup in his first season.

But this season has seen up upset with the United board over their failure to sign a central defender before the summer transfer window closed.

Mourinho has also been involved in a long running spat with record signing Paul Pogba while Anthony Martial won’t sign a new deal until he knows about Mourinho’s future.

He only signed a contract extension in January and United would need to pay out in the region of £16 million if they wanted to terminate his contract.

But with The Red Devils are eight points outside the places for European qualification next season his job continues to come under scrutiny Inter could provide a welcomed route out.
