Chelsea roundup: £28m Blues star wants shock return, Costa defends playing style and Mourinho on Aston Villa job

Mourinho responds to young Aston Villa fan asking him to be manager

Villa are somewhat in disarray at the moment as speculation over who their next boss will be rumbles on following Paul Lambert’s sacking on Wednesday.

However, for six-year-old Jude Branson there is no such debate and he wrote a letter to his favourite manager Mourinho asking him to take the role at Villa Park, as reported by the Metro.

Although this is unlikely the 52-year-old did respond to Jude and his Dad Phil hopes that this will plant the seed in the Portuguese coach’s mind!
