Mourinho would guarantee instant success at Man United or Arsenal
Jose Mourinho underlined his managerial class at the weekend by guiding Inter Milan to the Champions League title.
He is now a champion of Europe twice and I don't doubt he could deliver the biggest trophy again for any top club in England.
Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have both done great work in the past at Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.
But Mourinho is the here and now and I reckon he would be an ideal replacement for either Ferguson or Wenger should they go.
Mourinho wouldn't have to spend fortunes on players at either club to enjoy immediate success.
I reckon if he was at either Arsenal or United I could guarantee you that this time next year he would have won the title and got them to the latter stages of the Champions League.
I doubt whether Arsenal or United would be willing to make managerial changes to ditch the established figures running their clubs but, for me, it is a no-brainer as Mourinho has clearly had enough of life in Italy.
