With reports that Luke Shaw and Jose Mourinho aren't on speaking terms, the FC guys offer advice for the United defender. With Spurs in red-hot form and ready to face Man Utd this weekend, Layla Anna-Lee asks the question, could Mauricio Pochettino go on to be better than his counterpart Jose Mourinho?
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has admitted he has ambitions to manage an international team.
Mourinho has a contract at United until 2019 and sources have told ESPN FC that discussions have taken place about extending his deal, but the 54-year-old has gone on record to say he does not believe he will end his career at Old Trafford.
And the Portuguese -- who came close to taking the England job a decade ago -- has suggested he would be interested in taking an international team to a major tournament before he retires.
He told Sky Sports: "There will be a moment in my career where I would prefer that nature of job, being more analytical and preparing a team inside doors but competes less.
"The experience of living a World Cup or European Championship from the inside is an experience I want to have after so many years I've had in football."
Jose Mourinho is under contract at Manchester United until 2019.
Mourinho has guided United back into the Champions League this season after winning the Europa League in May.
He has won the competition twice during spells at Porto and Inter Milan, but he has hinted that, this season, winning the Premier League title is his priority.
He added: "For everyone, the Champions League is the 'El Dorado' -- it is something that normally means more than championships.
"But I agree when people say that championships are the ones that make you feel that the season was really great.
"It's a 10-month competition, it's a marathon of matches where you have to deal with all the good and the bad things of such a long run.
"I have won all four championships in which I've been involved and that's reason to be proud."
