Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea in December and is expected to take over at Manchester United in the summer.
And, according to broadcaster Matt Smith who recently interviewed him, his return is all agreed.
Mourinho is the favourite to take over from Louis van Gaal when the season finishes.
Van Gaal's United tenure has been streaked with inconsistency and disgruntlement from the sidelines.
They looked to have turned a corner with four wins on the bounce between February 22 and March 2.
But defeat to West Brom at the weekend put a stop to the positivity.
After tonight's Europa League clash with Liverpool they face West Ham in the FA Cup, Liverpool in the return leg and then the Manchester derby.
They are currently sixth with nine games to go, three points behind City having played a game more.
