'It's happening!' - Spurs and Man United fans have a theory about Jose Mourinho's future

The future of Jose Mourinho has been a real talking point in recent weeks.

The former Chelsea manager has been out of work since being sacked as Manchester United boss in December last year.

Since then, Mourinho has been waiting for the right opportunity to present itself, and it seems that he may have narrowed down exactly what he's looking for.

According to reports in RMC, Mourinho has turned down an approach from French side Lyon to be their new manager.

The report claims that the Portuguese boss made it clear that his desire is to secure a move back to the English Premier League, with his family currently settled in London.

Of course a manager of Jose Mourinho's calibre will be waiting for one of the top jobs in the country, with Tottenham being tipped as a potential destination.

Mauricio Pochettino's future at Spurs has been called into question after matters off the field have impacted performances on it, leading some to speculate that his days could be numbered.

Manchester United are another side who are underperforming at present, with suggestions that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be another manager to face the chop if performances don't improve.

That has prompted some supporters to suggest a bit of a managerial merry-go-round, with Mourinho tipped to move to Spurs and Pochettino moving to Manchester where he was so heavily linked last term.

Of course it's all speculation, but that hasn't stopped supporters from having their say on social media.
