Chelsea block Mourinho's Manchester United move

– Jose Mourinho is expected to sign a five-

year Manchester United contract worth £75

million

– The former Chelsea, Porto and Real Madrid

coach will be given £200 million to spend on

new stars

– Chelsea reportedly still own the rights to

Mourinho's name

Jose Mourinho's appointment as Manchester

United manager is being held up, The

Independent reports.

"The special one" has reportedly agreed

personal terms with United. Mourinho will be

given £200m to spend on new players when

he signs a five-year contract worth £75m.

The Daily Mail UK reports that an agreement

was reached midway through the season to

give United the option of bringing him in if

Van Gaal failed to meet their targets.

However, the European Union's Intellectual

Property Office database states that "Jose

Mourinho" is a trademark registered of

Chelsea.

Furthermore, the Independent reports that

Mourinho's signature was also registered by

the club but expired in January 2016,

although the ownership of the manager's

name will not expire until March 31, 2025. Jose Mourinho feels the

heat after suffering

another premier league defeat against

Bournemouth

According to the newspaper, other image

rights are delaying an official announcement,

namely United and Mourinho's opposing

watch partners, with United teaming up with

Bulova and Mourinho with Hublot.
