JOSE Mourinho will sit down with Manchester United at the end of the season to discuss a 12-month extension.

The Special One signed a three-year deal when he joined United at the start of this campaign.

And United chiefs believe he is the man to bring back the glory days to Old Trafford and want him to commit to another year.

There will also be a provision for an additional 12-month option on top of it if the club activate the clause.

Ex-Chelsea boss Mourinho has two-and-a-half-years left on his £12m-a-year contract.

And if he signs all his extensions, he could be in the Old Trafford hot-seat until at least 2022.

SunSport understands he will not receive any more money for increasing the length of his contract, but will get bonuses for success.

A United source said: “The club want to discuss extending Jose’s contract when the season ends.

“There’s an option for another 12-months should the guys upstairs want it, depending on trophies and the such.

“He is loved here already, and has the fans on his side. It has a feeling of something special starting.

“The owners are on board for the additional year. They love having him here at the moment.”

Mourinho is hoping to bring United a 21st league title within the next two years.

But the Red Devils have a battle to grab a Champions League spot as they lie sixth in the Premier League.

The ex-Real Madrid chief replaced Louis van Gaal in July after the Glazer family owners wanted a change of approach.

Mourinho has already planned out his summer spending, and is expected to splash out around £150m to £200m.

His main target is to bring in Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann for £80m.
