Another pressing matter for Mourinho to contend with this week is the future of United midfielder Juan Mata.
The Spaniard was sold to United by Mourinho in January 2014 and
the pair will have a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday, to discuss whether he is going to remain at the club.
Everton are preparing to bid for the 28-year-old if, as expected, he is told he can leave.
