Real Madrid are reportedly open to bringing Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho back to the club in the future if things don’t work out with current boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Portuguese is having a difficult time at Old Trafford right now but it’s claimed he’d be Real’s first choice to succeed Lopetegui after contacting Florentino Perez to discuss such a move, according to Diario Gol.
