Castles is known as a close associate of Mourinho’s super-agent Jorge Mendes and has a reputation of being a spokesperson for Mourinho’s camp in the media.

The latest claims from Castles suggest that United have no intention of sacking current manager Louis Van Gaal in the summer. The Dutchman’s current deal with the club expires in 2017 and he has recently hinted that he intends to see out his deal at Old Trafford.
