Chelsea keeper Courtois expects Mourinho to make Man Utd tough to beat

Thibaut Courtois suggests Manchester United are getting a 'top manager' in Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese is set to be unveiled as the Red Devils boss on Friday and his former Chelsea pupil Courtois believes the appointment will instil a much-needed toughness at Old Trafford

"[Mourinho is] a very good manager," the Belgian goalkeeper told Sky Sports.

"Obviously this season it was not our year but I'm confident he's a top manager and Manchester United will be difficult to beat next year."
