OFFICIAL: Jose Mourinho has signed an extension to his contract at Manchester United in a move that sees him commit his future to the Old Trafford club until at least 2020, with an option for a further year.
CLUB STATEMENT:
Mourinho, who became the first United manager in history to win a major trophy in his first season when he secured the EFL Cup at Wembley last February, also led the club to success in the only competition it had never previously won, when he masterminded the UEFA Europa League win in Stockholm in May.
Speaking of the new contract, Ed Woodward said:
“Jose has already achieved a great deal as Manchester United manager and I am delighted that he has agreed to extend his commitment until at least 2020. His work rate and professionalism are exceptional and he has embraced the club’s desire to promote top quality young players to the first team. He has brought an energy and a sense of purpose to everything that he does and I am sure that will continue to bring results for the fans and the club.”
Jose Mourinho said:
“I am really honoured and proud to be Manchester United manager. I would like to say a big thank you to the owners and to Mr Woodward for the recognition of my hard work and dedication. I am delighted they feel and trust that I am the right manager for this great club for the foreseeable future.
“We have set very high standards - winning three trophies in one season - but those are the standards I expect my teams to aim for. We are creating the conditions for a brilliant and successful future for Manchester United.
“My thanks, of course, go to my staff and to my players; without their empathy and friendship this wouldn’t be possible. I love my players and it is a pleasure to know that we are going to be together for at least the next three years.
“And I cannot finish without thanking the fans for their support and for making me feel at home so quickly. I repeat, to be Manchester United manager is an honour every day and I am really happy.”

It's nice that the owners of Manchester United have given a New Contract to Jose Mourinho. Really, this is a good development. Am so much convinced that with Mourinho, the lost glory for Manchester United will be regained in nearest future. However, I do not understand as to why some of the so called fans are always so negative against Mourinho. To my understanding of Soccer, if a Team is to do well, it has to keep in mind two things: attacking, and defending. Well can someone explain of this experience: A Soccer Team is leading by 4 goals to 1 goal, and eventually the one leading concedes 2 goals in 9 minutes and at the end it is 4 goals to 3 goals. Really, someone should explain to me as to what was missing for the Team leading to concede 2 goals in 9 minutes. Congratulations to both the Owners of Manchester United, and the Manager Jose Mourinho. As a Manchester United fan, I anticipate a lot of good progress for the development of Manchester United Football Club.
