Jose Mourinho has signed a new contract at Manchester United which runs until 2020 with the option of an additional year, the club have announced.
Former Chelsea boss Mourinho's deal was due to expire in 2019, but United have moved to tie him down to fresh terms ahead of next season.
The Portuguese this month branded reports he was unhappy at Old Trafford and was seeking an exit "garbage", later adding his decision not to buy a house in the area and continue living in a hotel was due to laziness.
“I am really honoured and proud to be Manchester United manager," he said in a statement. "I would like to say a big thank you to the owners and to Mr Woodward for the recognition of my hard work and dedication. I am delighted they feel and trust that I am the right manager for this great club for the foreseeable future.
“We have set very high standards — winning three trophies in one season — but those are the standards I expect my teams to aim for. We are creating the conditions for a brilliant and successful future for Manchester United.
The 54-year-old led the Red Devils to glory in the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his maiden season at the helm.
