Manchester United paid up Jose Mourinho’s £15million compensation package immediately after he was sacked.
The 55-year-old was dismissed on December 18 after two and a half seasons in charge.
The fact that he received the pay-off on his departure from Old Trafford means he is free to return to management.
A source close to Mourinho revealed on Wednesday night: ‘There are no issues over Jose’s contract with Manchester United. Everything has been sorted.
‘Jose is able to take on another job right now, but is in no rush.
