Jose Mourinho has extended his contract at Manchester United, with the club announcing the new deal for its manager on Thursday. The Portuguese is now tied to United until 2020.
Mourinho, who just turned 55, was hired in 2016 on a three-year deal with the option of an extra 12 months and led them to the League Cup and Europa League titles in his first year in charge.
