Sky Sports News have finally got their wish. Jose Mourinho to United was last night confirmed by a number of reputable journalists who we can't quote for fear we are shown to be out of the loop Sky Sources. Sky have been determined to report this news for weeks, including indulging in the Modernist art-form called stating the bleedin' obvious:
BREAKING: Sky Sources: Jose Mourinho told that @manutd manager's job is his if Louis Van Gaal leaves this summer. #SSNHQ

Now that the news has finally been broken by those intrepid Sky Sources, Sky jumped on their chance to grab a word with Mou at the farcical David Haye fight last night, a well-timed public appearance by the Portuguese. After the fight, Mourinho tried to make a quick getaway from the pursuant Sky cameras and Sky employee (not to be confused with a Sky Source). It was foiled in brilliantly mundane circumstances, however, as the door to his Range Rover was locked:

We've all been there: locked out of car for no discernable reason other than the capricious whims of a central locking system; frantically banging on the window as a panicked driver hits the unlock button twice in confusion, thereby unlocking it only to lock it once again. Mou kept his calm pretty well.
He was certainly more together than former Soviet Union Director of Propaganda Paddy Crerand, who went on another wild rant on BBC Radio 5 Live over the appointment of Mourinho yesterday.
