ManU paid José Mourinho's £15M ($19M) compensation package "immediately after he was sacked," according to David Woods of the London DAILY MAIL. The 55-year-old was dismissed on Dec. 18 after two-and-a-half seasons in charge. The fact that he received the payoff on his departure from Old Trafford means "he is free to return to management." A source close to Mourinho said, "There are no issues over José's contract with Manchester United. Everything has been sorted." The improved contract ManU agreed to with Mourinho a year ago was due to run until the end of the '19-20 season, with an option of a further season (DAILY MAIL, 1/9).
