Jose Mourinho has been officially confirmed as Manchester United boss this morning.
The Portuguese coach and his advisors were locked in negotiations with United for three days, with image rights [previously held by Chelsea], the apparent hold-up.
Mourinho's personal terms were sorted as far back as Tuesday. Needless to say, for a coach that has won eight league titles and two Champions League trophies, his pay deal is lucrative.

The Times report Mourinho will earn £12m a year, penning a three-season deal that is an initial outlay of £36m from United.
That is significantly higher than the £22m United set out for Louis van Gaal's three-year deal, signed in 2014. The club reportedly ended up paying the Dutchman £5m for not seeing out the final year of his deal.
Mourinho's annual wage is lower than Pep Guardiola's £15m a season deal at Manchester City but he could top that figure by earning some bonus payments.
Mourinho's contract reportedly ensures him £2.5m for a Premier League win and £5m if he is to secure his new team a Champions League.
Nice work if you can get it.
