    Jose Mourinho has signed a new contract to keep him at Manchester United until 2020, with an option for a further year.

    Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at Mourinho’s United reign.

    TROPHIES

    Mourinho became the first United manager ever to mark his debut season at Old Trafford with a major trophy, claiming last season’s League Cup with victory over Southampton at Wembley.

    United went on to add the Europa League with victory over Ajax, clinching Champions League qualification and making it a trophy hat-trick after having won the Community Shield at the start of the season.

    RESULTS

    Mourinho enjoys a 61.62 per cent win rate in all competitions since joining United, a total which compares favourably to Sir Alex Ferguson (59.67 per cent) and indeed tops all United managers.

    United could only manage a sixth-placed finish in last season’s Premier League after 15 draws from their 38 games left them 24 points behind champions Chelsea. They have improved to second this time but still trail leaders Manchester City by 12 points.

    His Premier League record since the start of last season reads 34 wins, 20 draws and just eight defeats, with 103 goals scored and 45 conceded for a goal difference of +58.

    That League Cup triumph helped him build a 7-2 win-loss record in that competition with United, with four wins and one loss in the FA Cup.

    The Europa League success contained 10 wins, three draws and two losses, with five wins and one defeat in this season’s Champions League group stage, while United won last season’s Community Shield against Leicester but lost to Real Madrid in this season’s UEFA Super Cup.

    That leaves his overall record at 61 wins, 23 draws and 15 defeats as he prepares to bring up a century of games with United when they face Yeovil on Friday in the FA Cup.

    Mourinho has won 61 of his 99 United games, with the 100th coming up on Friday.

    TRANSFERS

    Mourinho has spent reported fees of nearly £300m in the three transfer windows prior to this one since taking over at Old Trafford.

    The £89million return of former United academy graduate Paul Pogba and the £75m signing of Romelu Lukaku headline his spending, though Alexis Sanchez arrived from Arsenal this month in a straight swap for Henrikh Mkhitaryan with no fee involved.

    Mourinho has recouped around £57m, selling Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay for over £20m apiece, leaving his net spend at around £234m.

    Paul Pogba remains Jose Mourinho's most expensive signing at Manchester United.
