The contract, including bonuses for titles and cups won, will make Mourinho the highest-paid football manager in history.
It is almost double what Louis van Gaal currently earns. And while there has been no pre-contract signed between United and Mourinho, there is a verbal agreement in place that he will take over in May.
The Portuguese boss and his advisors are therefore convinced it is a done deal, which will see him trouser up to £20m a year.
It has long been an ambition of Mourinho’s to take over at Old Trafford. He was stunned when he was overlooked after Alex Ferguson retired in favour of David Moyes.
The Special One ended up back at Chelsea where he won the title last season but was sacked on December 17.
SunSport exclusively revealed on December 21 that United were immediately in contact with Mourinho.
Van Gaal has seen his regime unravel and is beginning to accept he will be out at the end of the season.
