Mourinho has Man Utd clause in Real Madrid contract

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid contract will have a 'Manchester United escape clause' included.

The deal will allow him to move to Old Trafford should Sir Alex Ferguson step down, it has been revealed.

The Sunday Mirror says he will not leave anything to chance as he sets his sights on eventually succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

Mourinho is set to have an escape clause within his four-year Madrid deal. This will state that after serving Real for two years he will be able to move on – if their compensation requirement is met.

It is Ferguson’s decision to prolong his stay at Old Trafford that has led Mourinho to seek sanctuary at the Bernabeu.

Privately Mourinho admits United is the only job that interests him in England, despite frequently hinting that one day he would like to return to Chelsea.
