Jose Mourinho's time as manager at Real Madrid will reportedly come to an end if his team fail to overcome Manchester United in the Champions League.

The Portuguese boss will lead his side out against the former Premier League champions at the Bernabeu this evening for the first leg of the round-of-16 tie.

The 50-year-old, whose future at the Spanish giants has been under scrutiny since dropping 16 points adrift of Barcelona in La Liga, will face the axe if Madrid fail to progress to the quarter-finals over two legs against United, according to The Express.

Mourinho reiterated yesterday that his next managerial job will be in England.
