“I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome him to Manchester United. His track record of success is ideal to take the Club forward.”
Mourinho has been an open admirer of Manchester United for many years and has been expected to replace Van Gaal since his sacking by Chelsea in December 2015.
Mourinho has been an open admirer of Manchester United for many years and has been expected to replace Van Gaal since his sacking by Chelsea in December 2015.
“To become Manchester United manager is a special honour in the game," the Portuguese said. "It is a club known and admired throughout the world. There is a mystique and a romance about it which no other club can match.
“I have always felt an affinity with Old Trafford; it has hosted some important memories for me in my career and I have always enjoyed a rapport with the United fans. I’m looking forward to being their manager and enjoying their magnificent support in the coming years.”
Mourinho has eight league titles to his name from his days with Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid, including three Premier League triumphs.But United have not finished higher than fourth in the three years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired after collecting 13 league crowns in his 26-year reign.
They finished in fifth place in 2015-16, prompting the decision to dismiss Van Gaal and replace him with his former Barcelona coaching protege.
The club have yet to confirm whether assistant manager Ryan Giggs will remain as part of Mourinho's backroom staff.

CRUELTY: TWO WHITE LIONS KILLED BUT YOU CAN'T GUESS WHY...
Local police said they had picked up a number of suspects relating to the killing near the Stockpoort border crossing with Botswana and investigation is underway.
It has been estimated that 8,000 lions are bred in captivity in South Africa.
According to a source: 'The lions are often sold to facilities which offer walking experiences with lions. The final journey for most of these hand-reared lions is as a trophy to be mounted on a hunter's wall.'
1000 lions are killed annually in South Africa by rich tourists who pay $5,400 (£3,500) to $48,000 (£31,000), depending on size and condition.

FOOTBALL: UNITED KINGDOM: HODGSON PRAISES FA PLANS TO SCRAP CUP REPLAYS (PHOTOS)
Top-flight English clubs are still competing through a hectic festive period while many others, including the Bundesliga, enjoy time off.
The FA announced on Thursday replays would no longer be played in the FA Cup from the last eight onwards.
That decision was applauded by Hodgson, who said it was a step in the right direction.
"It is done to maybe provide that elusive winter break. The break is nothing other than wanting to freshen our minds up," he said.
"There is no doubt that it is a very positive move, because those replays have often been one of the stumbling blocks to people suggesting we can't have a break."
Hodgson praised the Premier League and FA over their discussions for a potential break, saying replays had for so long been the problem.
"There's been no doubt that one of the stumbling blocks has often been 'hold on, you have all of these replays and you're asking us to cut our season down'," he said.
Hodgson and England are preparing for friendlies against Australia and Portugal ahead of Euro 2016.

The France Football Federation and Deschamps did not respond to Cantona's comments when contacted by Perform, but the coach's lawyer Carlos Brusa confirmed toL'Equipe that his client was going to take the matter further.
Brusa said: "I will initiate action before the civil and criminal courts to punish these slanderous and defamatory comments that infringe impermissibly on Mr Deschamps' integrity."

FOOTBALL BUSINESS: JAGUAR QUICK OFF THE MARK TO CONGRATULATE MOURINHO ON UNITED MOVE
While Jose Mourinho is deep in talks to become the new Manchester United manager, no official confirmation has yet emanated from Old Trafford.
But while we wait for the white smoke to emerge from the chimney in Greater Manchester many are already jumping the gun, such as the Special One's commercial partners Jaguar.
The prestigious car company may have taken off before the green light in extending their congratulations to Mourinho ahead of the announcement.
Congratulations to Jose Mourinho on his @ManUtd appointment. He'll always be #TheFrozenOne to us.— Jaguar UK (@JaguarUK) 26 de mayo de 2016
"Congratulations to Jose Mourinho on his@ManUtd appointment. He'll always be#TheFrozenOne to us", the company wrote on Twitter, as speculation grew that the former Real Madrid and Chelsea man would be imminently named Louis van Gaal's successor.
Jaguar, however, might be advised to drop down a gear.
This transfer saga has had his fair share of twists and turns over the last few months, and there is still some way to go before the finishing line is in sight.
It would certainly be a disaster if this move were to stall right on the final lap.

FOOTBALL: SKRTEL SET FOR LIVERPOOL EXIT
Skrtel made just 18 appearances following the arrival of manager Jurgen Klopp in October, with many of those coming when the German opted to rest first-team regulars during the club's run to the Europa League final.
The Slovakia international has attracted interest from Turkish champions Besiktas, but Csonto insists a deal is yet to be completed.
He told Slovakian TV station Markiza: "Besiktas is one of those interested in Martin but we're haven't reached a point where I can confirm Martin is going there, or anywhere else.
"I can say that it is 90 per cent certain Martin will leave Liverpool, but it is far from closed."
Skrtel moved to Anfield from Zenit in 2008.

FOOTBALL: "MANCHESTER UNITED WILL BE HARD TO BEAT WITH MOURINHO"
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has backed former manager Jose Mourinho to be a success at Manchester United.
The Portuguese boss is reported to have finalised terms with the Old Trafford club and is expected to succeed Louis van Gaal by leading United into the 2016-17 campaign.
Courtois was Mourinho's first-choice keeper as Chelsea won the Premier League in 2014-15 before the club embarked on a torrid run of form that resulted in his removal as manager at Stamford Bridge in December.
But the Belgium international, 24, believes Mourinho's presence will ensure facing United is a challenging prospect next season.
"He's a very good manager," Courtois told Sky Sports. "Obviously this season it was not our year but I'm confident he's a top manager and Manchester United will be difficult to beat next year.
And Courtois has also backed his own team to bounce back after following up their title win with a shock 10th-place finish.
"When a big team has a season like that, everybody learns from it," said the ex-Atletico Madrid shot stopper.
"Not only the players and manager but the directors, fans, everybody. We will be back stronger next year."
