Why Jose Mourinho Can Guide Manchester United Back to the European Elite

Jose Mourinho is the manager of Manchester United, and his track record of success should mean the Red Devils are in good hands.

Given a three-year contract with an option for a fourth year, per the club's website, Mourinho's task is to take United back to the top of the game.

Following the Portuguese's appointment on Friday, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "Jose is quite simply the best manager in the game today. He has won trophies and inspired players in countries across Europe and, of course, he knows the Premier League very well, having won three titles here.
