I've heard several sources stating that SAF is warming to the idea (or at least, becoming less frosty) of Mourinho now. They seem to indicate it was partially based on SAF being so stubbornly 'old school' when it comes to club management in terms of being prudent and avoiding knee-jerk 'Galactico' signings.
In terms of the future I'm not sure Mourinho will still be there in the 5 to 10+ year bracket but for re-stabilising the club and bringing in better players (which I think LVG only achieved with Martial). I believe he's the only man for the job now. I love the idea of Giggs as manager as nobody out there knows United better but he's too unproven right now and I'd worry he'd end up like Brian Clough at Forest or Dalglish at Liverpool - being allowed far too many chances due to strong sentiment.
