José Mourinho - Reggina-Inter - Serie A (Grazia Neri)

The Sun reports that Jose Mourinho, the Internazionale coach, will join former employer Roman Abramovich in the directors' box on Sunday when Chelsea visit Manchester United.

The Nerazzurri have been drawn against Sir Alex Ferguson's men in the final 16 of the Champions League. Thus, their Portuguese gaffer has decided to do some reconnaissance ahead of the first leg, which takes place at the San Siro on February 24.

However, Mourinho's trip to Old Trafford to could mean more than meets the eye. The Champions League winner has been continually linked with the manager's position at Manchester City, as the club's Arab owners are reportedly running out of patience with Mark Hughes.

The Sky Blues have rubbished these claims and Mourinho has denied any interest in the Eastlands job, but his not-so-covert mission in North West will doubtless lead to a flurry of speculation on that front.
