Jose Mourinho going to Manchester United – Inter director Bedy Moratti

ESPN FC's Craig Burley thinks choosing Jose Mourinho over Mauricio Pochettino is an easy decision.

ESPN FC's Ale Moreno is skeptical of reports that Jose Mourinho is honing in on the Man United manager's job.

The ESPN FC crew discuss the reports that Manchester United has made contact with Jose Mourinho and look at LVG's reaction. Inter Milan director Bedy Moratti has claimed Jose Mourinho is "happy now" because he is set to join Manchester United.
Mourinho is in Milan this weekend to watch his former side take on Sampdoria and to visit ex-Inter president Massimo Moratti and his family.

Inter Milan must beat Sampdoria to preserve Champions League dreams

The ESPN FC team discuss the results in the Serie A and Juventus' continuing success as they reach 15 wins in a row.

The goals have dried up for Mauro Icardi and it's hurting Inter Milan in more ways than one.

It is not unfair to say that Inter's pre-season targets were unobtainable or unrealistic. Champions League was always the aim, and the five wins out of the first five games and the games up until Christmas may have offered hope. A more unrealistic dream, winning the Scudetto at season's end, has now all but slipped into the night in the same way their once sturdy backline has.

Now, after another disappointing game in the 2016 campaign — a 2-1 away loss to Fiorentina — Inter have to rally. It…

Mauro Zarate was sent off for grabbing Inter's Jeison Murillo in stoppage time
Fiorentina striker Mauro Zarate said he was punched twice during the scenes that marred the end of the Viola's 2-1 win on Sunday night, while no one from Inter Milan spoke to the media.
