Jose Mourinho will not be able to discuss the terms of his departure from Manchester United due to a clause in his severance package. 

The United boss will be a pundit on beIN SPORTS on Thursday and Saturday but he will be restricted to what he can say due to him agreeing to a confidentiality clause in his £15million leaving package. 

Mourinho will earn a lot less from the broadcast network because of the constraints put on him.

According to the Times, the Portuguese manager will earn £60,000 whilst working for beIN SPORTS compared to the £1m he earned for being a World Cup pundit on Russia Today in the summer. 


United lawyers have warned that they will be watching the 55-year-old closely to ensure he sticks to the guidelines.  

Mourinho was sacked on December 18 after two and a half seasons in charge with the club and the Red Devils 19 points behind leaders Liverpool at the time. 

The former United boss' interim replacement, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has won his first six games in charge.

The latest being a 1-0 victory at Wembley against Tottenham thanks to a goal from Marcus Rashford.
