Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho’s PSG chances talked up by France manager Didier Deschamps
French coach reckons Portuguese counterpart has reputation for globetrotting and is sure to be tempted by PSG
FRANCE boss Didier Deschamps has talked up Jose Mourinho’s chances of leaving Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Special One is half-way through a three-year deal at Old Trafford but has been linked with a move across the Channel.
Current PSG boss Unai Emery is on borrowed time after missing out on the Ligue 1 title last season.
And Mourinho has dropped hints that he may be prepared to quit England for France next summer.
PSG proved their ambition to become Europe’s biggest club by spending a club-record fee on Brazilian forward Neymar in the last transfer window.
And with United struggling to keep pace with rivals Manchester City, Mourinho may feel the time is right to jump ship.

One man who would welcome Mourinho to France with open arms is national team manager Deschamps, who believes the Portuguese tactician and PSG are a match made in heaven.
He said: “Why not? He’s pretty happy at United but he’s a bit of a globetrotter, so why not France too?

“He has not been to France yet. PSG are the most stand-out team in France. They are doing well nationally and in the Champions League.”
Mourinho’s links with PSG have come about after he declared “something special” was happening in the French capital, adding: “I’m sure that I won’t end my career here (at Manchester United).”
