Jose Mourinho's legal wrangle with former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro is due to continue in court on June 6 – and it could be his first appearance as Manchester United manager.
Embarrassing details surrounding Carneiro's exit are set to be made public, with text messages and emails sent and received by Mourinho likely to be used as evidence in a full tribunal.
Mourinho could be called to appear as a witness at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon, and Carneiro still wants a public apology from the 53-year-old.

He called her 'impulsive and naive' after she ran on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in August in Chelsea's first Barclays Premier League fixture against Swansea City last season.
Carneiro left Chelsea in September after being dropped from first-team duties and is suing the club for constructive dismissal.
She also has a separate personal legal action against Mourinho for alleged victimisation and discrimination.
This posed a problem for Mourinho, with Sportsmail previously told that Manchester United's board were not completely convinced by his controversial history.

This legal battle with Carneiro could make life difficult in the coming weeks for Mourinho, whose agent, Jorge Mendes, is to arrive in England on Tuesday.
Talks with United are understood to just be to conclude contract details, with a deal already agreed in principle.
Carneiro spent five hours in a private hearing in Croydon in March, with the doctor seeking 'substantial damages' from Chelsea.
Asked if a settlement had been reached afterwards, she shook her head, while her legal team refused to comment.
Cameramen and photographers chased Carneiro when she left the court two months ago and a full public tribunal will attract even more attention, particularly if Mourinho makes an appearance.
