Manchester United are ready to hand Jose Mourinho a new long-term deal.
The Sunday Express says his first season, which brought the club three trophies, has helped convince the board that he is the man to take them back to the top.
He has formed a close working relationship with United's vice chairman Ed Woodward and they are planning a £200 million summer spending spree.
The Portuguese has insisted that United must spend big if they want to close the gap on the top four after finishing sixth.
United are now ready to hand Mourinho a new five-year contract.
