Jose Mourinho turns down the chance to coach Paris Saint-Germain because he is so sure that he will be Manchester United's next manager, according to a report.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly so confident that he will be appointed Manchester United manager in the summer, the 53-year-old has rejected Paris Saint-Germain's advances.

There have been mixed messages over recent months regarding Mourinho and a potential move to the Old Trafford dugout.

Some rumours have claimed that Mourinho will replace current incumbent Louis van Gaal, while others have suggested that assistant Ryan Giggs will be given the opportunity to prove his credentials in the hotseat.

Further speculation has suggested that the Red Devils are prepared to stick with Van Gaal for the remaining 12 months of his contract.

However, Mourinho has now been assured that the United job will be his ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, according to The People.

The publication adds that PSG learned of the Portuguese coach's unavailability when they made an approach for his services earlier this week.

It is believed that Mourinho is already working on his transfer targets, with Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain and Benfica midfielder Renato Sanches said to be at the top of his shortlist.
