Jose Mourinho reveals how long his Man Utd project will last: This would be magnificent

JOSE MOURINHO can see himself at Manchester United in SEVEN years’ time.

Mourinho says managing Man United has been his hardest job

The Manchester United boss signed a three-year contract last summer when he arrived at Old Trafford.

And having settled well in Manchester, the Portuguese has expressed a desire to extend his stay further, committing long-term.

So far at United, Jose Mourinho has already claimed the Community Shield and EFL Cup, and Europa League glory is within reach too.

A top-four finish in the Premier League is still vert much achievable too.

For his first campaign in charge, the 54-year-old deems lifting a European trophy a real achievement if earned.

And going up against Europe’s elite club in the Super Cup next term would be the icing on the cake.

"It doesn't matter what happens in terms of titles we win or don't win,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"I always feel that the season is very important for me, the players and the club.

I would say this can be the first season of the next five or six or seven

"I would say this can be the first season of the next five or six or seven. It can be the first season of better years.

"And the reality is even in the first season of better years we won already [the Community Shield and EFL Cup], and if we manage to win the Europa League and in August to play the European Super Cup against the Champions League winner, it will be magnificent."

Mourinho’s United are three games away from Champions League qualification via the Europa League.

But they are also one point behind fourth-placed City ahead of tomorrow’s Manchester derby (8pm).
